A 19-year-old man died and two young women were injured after an accident on the “Expresso do Amor” ride at Crazy Park, located at the Itaipava Exhibition Park, in the Serrana Region of Rio de Janeiro. The tragedy occurred in the early hours of Saturday, May 3.

The victims were rescued by teams from the park itself and taken to the Emergency Care Unit (UPA) in Itaipava. João Victor Souza Trindade da Silva, a resident of Miguel Pereira, succumbed to his injuries and died at the unit.
