A fire in a truck on BR-364, near Tarauacá, resulted in an estimated loss of $ 200,000. The incident occurred on Thursday (24) and involved a vehicle belonging to a Southern Cruise Supermarket, which was returning empty to Rio Branco.
Ercinho Cameli, owner of the vehicle and entrepreneur, assigns what happened to the precarious conditions of the Federal Highway. According to him, the poor conservation of the road contributed to the beginning of the flames.

In his report, Cameli details that the trailer, although new, had one of the wheels fought due to the holes in the track. The brake locking generated overheating, which the driver only realized when one of the tires burst and began to catch fire. The businessman explains that the driver was able to challenge the horse’s cart (the front of the truck), but the fire spread. The firefighters were called to contain the flames.
The businessman estimates that the cost to repair the trailer will be approximately $ 200,000, considering that a new vehicle of this type can cost between $ 370 thousand and $ 400 thousand.
