Two young men, identified as Josué Antônio da Silva and Wellington Lopes, both 19 year old rode on a motorcycle but after they noticed a group of military police conducting an operation a few meters ahead, they attempted a quick U-turn to dash in the opposite direction. Without looking if it was safe to pull such sudden move, they ran into a passing Fiat Uno and both crashed. One of the youths suffered a rather nasty and painful open leg fracture.
The incident happened on Tuesday January 21, 2014 on Travessa Paulo de Souza, located in the neighborhood of Fatima in Itabuna, state of Bahia, Brazil. The reason why the two were trying to flee from police has not been made public.
