The collision shocked the country and led to a major response from rescue teams, forensic experts, and investigators. The van was carrying workers who were returning to Ceará.
According to the first findings from the Civil Police of Minas Gerais, the truck crossed into the opposite lane and hit the van directly. Investigators say this was a key factor in the crash.
Experts reached that conclusion by studying tire marks, drag marks, and grooves left on the road. Authorities are continuing the investigation to confirm all the details of what happened.
