Security camera recorded the moment when a speeding driver ran over a teenager on a bicycle in Pradópolis, SP Security camera Bicycle as a partner According to Cristiane, her nephew has the habit of cycling all over the city. As it is a quiet city, upon learning of the accident, the family did not imagine that the situation could be so serious. "We never imagined going through this, this suffering that I, my sister, my family are going through. At 15 years old, he is a child", he says. The deputy believes the driver mixed up the pedals and accelerated the car before hitting Nathan. "Analyzing the images, we get the impression that the vehicle increases speed when it approaches the cyclist. I believe that he was scared by the boy's presence. Instead of stepping on the brake, he stepped on the accelerator. This is the impression it gives because the vehicle is coming at a certain speed and, when it approaches, it ends up accelerating so much that the collision is quite strong", says Alves.
