The Wind Blade Was Being Transported by a Truck and Ended Up Coming Loose, Hitting a Car with Two People Inside
The accident that occurred today (30) on BR-020 involved the transportation of a gigantic wind energy blade in the city of Parambu, in the state of Ceará. The blade was being carried by a truck and ended up coming loose, hitting a driver and the passenger of a car that was following closely behind. It is still unclear whether the blade was not properly secured or if the vehicle behind hit the truck, causing the fatality.

With the impact, the truck went off the road and the wind blade was left across the highway. The accident occurred at KM 47, in the Pau Preto neighborhood, on the bridge that crosses the Puiú River, according to the Federal Highway Police.
The Federal Highway Police had to halt vehicle traffic in the area, and the recommendation is to avoid that part of the highway until the car and the wind blade are removed from the region; however, there is currently no forecast for when this operation will take place.
