Driver did not notice the presence of Victor Aquino, only 18, on BR-020 and overturned the vehicle in sequence; situation generated revolt among the victim’s relatives
A driver, who was under the influence of alcohol, ran over and caused the death of cyclist Victor Aquino, only 18, in a tragic accident on BR-020, in Planaltina, on Monday (27). The 52 -year -old driver did not notice the presence of the young man and, after the impact, lost control of the vehicle, then overturned. The alcohol test performed on site pointed to a concentration of 0.51 mg/l, which characterizes a traffic crime. After the accident, the driver was released by paying a bail of $ 1,000, which generated revolt among Victor’s family members. They considered the value of bail extremely low, especially when compared to a fine of R $ 2,934.70 applied to those who drive under alcohol influence.
Victor’s relatives expressed their frustration with the judicial system, highlighting the sense of impunity that the situation brought. They stated that the young man’s life cannot be measured in financial terms and that bail does not reflect the severity of the act committed. Although the driver has been released, he must comply with some precautionary measures while waiting for the process. Among the obligations imposed are the need to attend all procedural acts and the prohibition to change address. The expectation is that justice will be done and that the case does not fall into oblivion, reflecting the importance of safer traffic for all.
