The accident
A car fell and was completely submerged in the Tamanduateí River after an accident with two other vehicles on Avenida do Estado, in the central region of São Paulo, on the morning of this Monday (25).

Firefighters confirmed one death. According to CNN Brasil, the victim was a man who was not wearing a seat belt in the driver's seat. The collision occurred under the East-West connection, at the height of the access viaduct to Avenida Rangel Pestana, towards Santana, at around 4:50 in the morning.

According to firefighters, the accident occurred after a white Fiat Abarth car, which was traveling at high speed, made a prohibited turn on the bridge, hit the side of a car, lost control and collided with a third vehicle, which fell into the river with its wheels up.

To CNN Brasil, the captain of the CBPMESP (Fire Department of the Military Police of the State of São Paulo) Leandro Soares said that the corporation searched areas close to the accident site and concluded that no one left the vehicle.

Due to the depth of the river, it was necessary to use diving equipment to locate possible victims. In the other two vehicles involved in the accident, there were a couple in one of them and a driver in the other. No one was injured in these vehicles.

In a statement, the SSP-SP (Public Security Secretariat of the State of São Paulo) reported that the first car hit was a Volkswagen Gol model. The driver is a 25-year-old man who was hit in the back of the car, but remained on the road after the crash. He did not suffer serious injuries.
