Vehicle pileup on the Entroncamento elevated road causes slowdowns in Belém

In total, two cars, a bus and a motorcycle were involved in the accident. According to the bus driver, a motorcyclist who was traveling along the viaduct towards the exit of Avenida Augusto Montenegro stopped to retrieve a cell phone that had fallen on the asphalt. That's when the driver of a car braked suddenly so as not to run over the driver.

A car and a bus that were behind also braked suddenly, which caused a pileup between the collective and the two cars. After the crash, the driver of the car who braked to avoid running over the motorcyclist fled the scene.

Traffic in the area was slow, and agents from the Municipal Secretariat of Security, Public Order and Mobility of Belém (Segbel) went to the scene to organize the flow. The bus was stopped at the scene, and the driver activated a tow truck to remove it.
