A 45-year-old taxi driver fell asleep at the wheel after several hours of work and caused an accident that resulted in the death of one person last August. Fatigue was the direct cause of the incident, according to available information.
The video of the moment of the accident was captured and circulated widely, showing the taxi driver losing control of the vehicle while falling asleep. The images allowed authorities to reconstruct the events that led to the tragedy.
The driver has now been convicted by the courts, facing the legal consequences of his act. The case serves as a warning about the dangers of fatigue while driving, especially for professionals who spend long periods on duty.
The accident occurred in August last year, and the sentence was handed down recently, concluding a process that lasted several months until the final decision.
