The crash was caught on a live broadcast

The accident occurred on November 5 at around 4:30 p.m. on Avenida João Valério in the Vieiralves district. At that moment, the owner of the Use Guta Store, Daylane Augusta da Silva Baba, was hosting a live stream, showing clothes to customers and talking about Black Friday discounts — and the moment of impact was captured both in the broadcast recording and on surveillance cameras.
The injured and the driver's account
As a result of the impact, the car smashed through the storefront and drove into the retail space; the storefront itself was damaged. One of the employees suffered abrasions to her shoulder area, and the boutique owner complained of body aches after the incident and sought medical attention — according to available information, her life is not in danger. The driver of the SUV remained at the scene and told police that she had fallen asleep at the wheel and lost control. Law enforcement is investigating the circumstances of the accident and verifying her account of what happened.
Another incident covered in the Life.ru article
The same Life.ru article also separately mentions an accident in the Moscow region: on November 6, near the village of Peshki in the Solnechnogorsk urban district a dump truck with its bed raised brought down an elevated pedestrian crossing over Leningradskoye Highway. According to preliminary reports, the driver failed to lower the truck bed and struck the bridge span with it; the structure collapsed onto the roadway and crushed a car. It was later reported that the driver had died, but no official confirmation had been received at that time. Traffic on the highway was closed in both directions, and a traffic jam several kilometers long formed. This is a separate incident, unrelated to the one in Manaus.
