In an interval of less than four hours, two accidents involving vehicles crashing into public lighting poles made life difficult for drivers traveling through the North Zone of Juiz de Fora.

In the second incident, the public lighting equipment completely closed Rua Coronel Vidal, close to the Cerâmica football field, towards the Center.

As a result, the Ramirez Gonzalez Viaduct was closed, and traffic was diverted along Rua Olavo Bilac. Cemig reported that a team was urgently sent to the scene shortly after the accident.

There is no information about what caused the accident and whether there were any injuries.
