He tries to rob a truck driver and is decapitated.
A couple of criminals were traveling on a motorcycle on the highway towards Rio de Janeiro and in an attempted robbery they were attacked by a truck driver.
A criminal who tried to steal a cargo truck on the "Red Line" highway (Linha Vermelha in Portuguese), was killed early last Friday the 24th, near Parque das Missões, in Duque de Caxias, Baixada Fluminense.
The pair of criminals were traveling on a motorcycle on the highway towards Rio de Janeiro and in an attempted robbery they were hit by a truck driver, which had fatal consequences for one of the criminals, who paid with his life for his recklessness and lack of scruples.
The truck driver told police he noticed two suspicious men on a motorcycle approaching and remained alert. Seconds later, the couple announced the robbery by showing their weapons. The bodyguards realized the situation and were preparing to act, when he decided to accelerate and ram the motorcycle.
The motorcycle crashed into the road dividing wall.
The vehicle with the criminals crashed into the highway dividing barrier. One of the criminals was decapitated after hitting the barrier and falling to the asphalt, while the other managed to escape.
The truck driver did not stop due to the seriousness of the situation, so he went to the Maré Military Police Battalion for help.
The scene of the incident had to be guarded and cordoned off for forensic investigations, which caused traffic to collapse on the "Red Line" highway late in the morning. Police authorities are carrying out an exhaustive investigation to clarify the details of this tragic incident.
