The driver of the car told police that he looked both ways before driving through the alley and did not see the artist. The animator, on the contrary, said that he was going to dance at the crosswalk before the accident.

Carreta da Alegria from Parana travels the country with artistic performances in cartoon costumes. On the Caçador Net website, the company says it “just scared me”. The artist posted on the social network that he was fine and thanked the fans for their attention.
