Un bebeluş de opt luni a murit şi alte 15 persoane au fost rănite, după ce un vehicul a intrat în mulţime în zona plajei Copacabana, din Rio de Janeiro. Potrivit poliţiei, şoferul ar fi suferit o criză de epilepsie.
Imaginile cu pietoni răniţi întinşi pe trotuar au reamintit de atacuri teroriste, încă nu există informaţii că incidentul a fost deliberat.
Potrivit O Globo, şoferul a fugit însă a fost reţinut la scurt timp. Bărbatul le-a spus anchetatorilor că a suferit o criză de epilepsie şi că a pierdut controlul volanului, anunță News.ro.
Medicamente pentru această afecţiune au fost găsite în maşină.
