Man Hit by Bus While Running Across Street in Campo Grande

A man, identified only as Eduardo, was injured after being struck by a bus on Monday night, September 3rd, in the Jardim Nhanhá neighborhood of Campo Grande. The incident occurred around 9:47 PM on Rua Antônio Bitencourt Filho. Police were alerted, but by the time they arrived, the victim had already been taken to the hospital by the Fire Department. Eduardo exhibited behavior suggesting possible drug use, which initially hindered his identification. Firefighters reported he sustained a deep cut on his right leg and was conscious when transported to Santa Casa for medical attention. Witnesses and the bus driver stated that Eduardo, described as homeless, suddenly ran across the street in front of the moving bus, making it impossible for the driver to avoid the collision. Due to the scene being altered during the victim's rescue and the presence of those involved, evidence preservation was not possible, and forensic investigation was not requested by the authorities. The case has been registered as negligent bodily injury by a motor vehicle operator and will be further investigated by the responsible police station.
