A 68 -year -old man in a wheelchair was dragged for a few meters from a truck on a Rio Grande Do Sul, Brazil road.
The accident, which took place on Monday 23, was recorded by the surveillance cameras and shows the moment when the vehicle bumps the back of the pensioner Luiz Jaeger and embeds him in the bumper. Despite the fright, he did not suffer serious injuries.
According to the family, the elderly was walking through a road without regular sidewalks, forcing him to circulate on the roadway. The witnesses shouted to notify the driver, who finally stopped and allowed Luiz to be freed from the front of the truck. However, the driver would have left the place without helping.
The victim’s granddaughter, Nicolly Jaeger, reported that the grandfather warned back pain, but has chosen not to go to the hospital and is taking back home. The family has filed a complaint on Wednesday 25, which will be forwarded to the section of road crimes, which will evaluate whether to open an investigation or archive the case.
