Video: Young man dies when car overturns during police chase.
According to the police report, the couple initially stopped the car, but when the police approached, they accelerated the vehicle and tried to flee.
A video captured by a security camera shows the moment when Gabrieli Soares, 23, dies in a serious traffic accident. The fatal accident occurred last Friday, June 14, in the municipality of Maravilha, Santa Catarina.
According to information from the Military Police, Gabrieli was with her boyfriend in a Honda Fit car. Upon noticing the vehicle approaching, the couple suddenly changed direction, which aroused suspicion on the part of the authorities.
According to the police report, the couple initially stopped the car, but when the police approached, they accelerated the vehicle and tried to flee. At that moment a police chase began.
During the ride, Gabrieli could be seen throwing several packages of marijuana out the car window. Then, the young woman's boyfriend ended up losing control of the steering wheel and overturned the vehicle. During the accident, Gabrieli was ejected from the car and succumbed to her injuries. She died at the scene.
The young woman's boyfriend, a 25-year-old man, tried to flee, but was captured by the police. He did not have a driver's license and was serving a semi-open sentence. The offender received medical attention and was taken to the police station.
He already had a police record for drug trafficking, bodily injury and failure to comply with a protective measure. Now, he has been charged again with drug trafficking, as well as intentional homicide in connection with Gabrieli's death. The young woman leaves behind a young son.
