According to the Military Police, the car entered the wrong lane while trying to overtake and hit the two motorcycles. The corporation reported that the driver showed signs of intoxication, but refused to take a breathalyzer test.

At the scene, the EPTV team, an affiliate of the Globo network, found that the driver also crashed into the bus he was trying to overtake and had already been involved in another accident shortly before, at km 80 of the same highway.

The Fire Department, the Department of Roads and Highways (DER) and the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) were called to respond to the incident.

One of those involved died at the scene. Another person was rescued, but did not survive his injuries. The victim who survived was taken to Santa Casa de Vinhedo in serious condition.

The shoulder of the road had to be closed by DER to deal with the incident. A tow truck from the Basic Assistance Unit (UBA) was also called to provide assistance.

The driver of the car followed the incident and was later taken to the Vinhedo police station, where the case was registered.
