Police officers escorting the vice-governor of Bahia suffer an accident in the interior of the state
Two military police officers who, on a motorcycle, were escorting the vice-governor of Bahia, Geraldo Júnior (MDB), were injured after a crash with a car, in the city of Ipiaú, in the south of Bahia. The accident happened on Tuesday morning (19), when the politician was fulfilling his institutional agenda.
According to the Military Police, a silver car, which was traveling on the wrong side of the road, collided with the corporation’s motorcycle, causing the accident. The pair were rescued and taken to Prado Valares General Hospital, in Jequié, in the southwest of the state, where they undergo tests and are not at risk of death.
The corporation reported that the 55th Independent Military Police Company (CIPM), the unit where the PMs are assigned, monitors the health status of the soldiers.
The driver of the car was taken to the Ipiaú police station. There are no details whether he was released or was detained in the unit.
Geraldo Júnior was on his way to Ibirataia, a city in southern Bahia, to participate in the celebrations of São José, the city’s Catholic patron saint.
