Videos circulating on social media show anti-democratic protesters throwing stones at the truck, which would be trying to break through a blockade after being surrounded.

Then the driver makes a U-turn and advances on the camp on the side of the road, causing the destruction of tents. Several people run at this time. A few seconds later, the collision occurs.

Federal road police officer Andrei Milton, from the PRF superintendence in Rondônia, confirmed that the images circulating on the internet were recorded this Wednesday in Cacoal.

According to the Military Police, there is no record of death at the scene. The person hit by the car, whose name has not been released, was taken to a local hospital. The truck driver was detained by military police.

Along with Mato Grosso and Santa Catarina, Rondônia is one of the states that concentrates the majority of anti-democratic demonstrations against the result of the presidential elections.

The three states are among those that gave the highest proportional vote to Bolsonaro in the October elections.

Rondônia registers cases of violence and vandalism after the defeat of the president. In Ariquemes (203 km from Porto Velho), for example, the water supply to part of the city was suspended after demonstrators destroyed the pipeline of one of the city’s main reservoirs.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office instituted a criminal investigation procedure to determine the damage. Preliminary investigation points out that protesters would have used an excavator to break the pipe of the concessionaire’s reservoir.

In the same city, there was a confrontation between protesters and the police after an attempt to unblock the BR-364. There were also attacks on a convoy of trucks belonging to a supermarket chain, which resulted in fire, depredation and looting of cargo.

During the PRF action to prevent the looting of the cargo, one of the agents was the target of racism when immobilizing one of the offenders. He was called “Dirty Black”. The man was arrested.

In Vilhena, a truck driver was attacked with stones after refusing to stay at a blockade point. A similar case happened in Nova Mamoré, where a car was stoned.
