A Brazilian schoolgirl died after she leaned her head out a bus window and was hit by a pole. She was trying to wave to her classmates.
The freak accident occurred last week after Fernanda Pacheco Ferraz, 13, left Rio de Janeiro’s Professor Carlos Côrtes State College, where she studied, to get to her home in the Catarcione neighborhood, Brazilian media reported.
Tragedy struck after the teen, who was sitting at the back of the bus at the time, decided to lean her out the window of the moving vehicle to say goodbye to her friends, per Jam Press.
Suddenly, the driver swerved to avoid oncoming traffic on the narrow street, whereupon Fernanda collided with a pole near the curb, suffering grievous head injuries.
Passengers informed the bus driver of the accident, prompting him to stop the vehicle.
