When the dust settled, a young couple’s lives were irreversibly changed.
was this an ordinary case of drunk driving, or was there something darker hidden behind the wheel — a story of fear, panic, or guilt that no one yet understood?
The Fatal Chain of Events
It all began as a routine roadside emergency. A young couple, traveling in a Chevrolet Cruze, had pulled over to the shoulder of Rodovia do Sol to fix a flat tire.
Family members, including Ingrid and her brother, were helping them, carefully guiding them as they worked to get the car back on the road safely.
The sun had begun to dip toward the horizon, casting long shadows across the asphalt, when tragedy struck in an instant.
