A cyclist managed to escape being run over by a truck that overturned several times on the BR-163, in Marechal Cândido Rondon, in western Paraná, this Saturday morning (10). During the accident, the vehicle hit the bicycle, but the man managed to jump out in time and was not hit.

The images show the truck crossing the highway when it loses control, hits the bicycle and overturns.

According to the Federal Highway Police (PRF), the truck was traveling from Cascavel to Guaíra when the driver lost control of the steering wheel.

The vehicle crossed both lanes of the highway and reached the roadside, where it hit the bicycle during the rollover. The truck only stopped at a metallurgical yard, on the banks of BR-163.

Four people from the same family were in the vehicle, two men and two women. According to the PRF, they are all residents of Cascavel and were traveling to Paraguay.

The four occupants suffered minor injuries and were taken to the Emergency Care Unit (UPA) in Marechal Cândido Rondon for medical evaluation, due to the dynamics of the accident.

The cyclist was not injured and refused medical attention.

Teams from the Fire Department and the Via Campo concessionaire, responsible for the stretch, provided first aid.

The PRF organized traffic on the highway and marginal road and monitored the removal of the truck.

There is no information about what caused the driver to lose control of the wheel.
