Around 21:30, the military fire department was called in connection with the incident in the city of San Pedro do Timbo, which is located within the city. At the scene, family members and neighbors said the man was last seen around 7:20 p.m. in the car he was driving.

As the railing of the Río dos Pardos bridge was damaged, firefighters began to search the water on the boat and found that the victim’s belongings were floating and sticking to the vegetation.

Two days after the crash, the 42-year-old man’s car was found by military firefighters.
