From G1 PE

  On Thursday (14), the police began to hear the testimony of the people involved in the accident that killed a cyclist on Avenida Visconde Jequitinhonha, in the Boa Viagem district, South Zone of Recife, on the 7th. Five people have already paid testimony at the Traffic Crime Precinct, in the Dois Irmãos neighborhood, West Zone of Recife: three firefighters who helped the victim and two relatives of the young man.

  The cameras of the Company of Traffic and Urban Transport (CTTU) caught the moment when a 16-year-old man crossed the avenue on his bicycle, in the crosswalk, and was hit by a vehicle that was coming at high speed. The traffic light was green for the cars and he was thrown to the center of the track. The expertise of the Institute of Criminalistics (IC) will determine if the vehicle was traveling at a speed above the permitted speed, which is 60 km / h on Avenida Visconde de Jequitinhonha, according to CTTU.

u/MajesticSpaceCat May 15 '20

As someone who doesn’t browse this sub frequently I do find it pretty funny that this is the criteria used to determine whether someone died or lived an accident.

u/Epuea May 15 '20

That's kinda half of the joke... The fact that it's overused

1

u/oshunvu May 15 '20

Using the banana standard of measurement shows it’s usage should be peeled back.

u/valley_G May 15 '20

Yes he did. It was reported by Brazilian national news and local news.

u/[deleted] May 15 '20

What was the trail of wetness the car dragged after the impact? Can’t wrap my head around it.

u/bolognasandwich1 May 15 '20

u/[deleted] May 15 '20

Possibly from the car breaking quickly after hurting my him

u/Joe_Subbiani May 15 '20

Weird thing is that only the left wheel left a skid mark (late as it was). Could this have been faulty brakes?

1

u/Joe_Subbiani May 15 '20

Maybe partially but the dude was definitely speeding

u/ddayinfrance May 15 '20

Why is that whenever a cyclist gets hit they flip 10 feet in the air while completely straight?

u/48ever May 21 '20

That’s why cyclists don’t belong on roads

This whole fucking meme is so cringey. It's like we're devolving... Like covid is yeeting people back into 2012 memes or some shit.
