On Saturday, a minivan crashed into another car and smashed the glass facade of a clinic, before reversing into the side of another clinic, according to videos posted on social media platforms.
The incident took place on Travessa dos Bombeiros, a block or so away from the Accident and Emergency Department of the Kiang Wu Hospital.
Initial videos showed that the vehicle, a Toyota Picnic/Ipsum, did not give way as it crossed the intersection with Rua de Francisco Xavier Pereira, before crashing into a black car, a Toyota Ractis.
The vehicle drifted off from the road and crashed against the decorative glass wall of a clinic, almost injuring a passer-by. It also broke a roadside metal safety pillar. The car then stopped briefly.
Afterwards, the car began to reverse at a relatively high speed, as shown in another video. It attempted to get away along the Travessa dos Bombeiros but failed to maintain its course.
It gradually pulled to the right, knocking down a set of safety bars on the sidewalk and crashing its rear against the rolling gate of a shop next to another clinic.
The rescue authorities have disclosed that a 70-year-old female passenger in the Toyota Ractis sustained a contusion on her waist and was taken to the Kiang Wu Hospital for treatment. AL
