A woman is being dragged by a car on Tete’s side
Taynara lost her legs after being dragged by a car. She was rescued by passers-by, who realized she was a woman trapped outside the trunk of a black car.
She was taken to the Viridor Jose Storopoli Municipal Hospital.
Security cameras captured the moment Douglas Alves da Silva ran over her before she was dragged away.
From the pictures, it can be seen that she was walking with a boy, and then she was hit by the black car that was dragging her along. The scene is strong.
According to the defense, the person driving the car is the young woman’s ex-husband, who has been following her for some time. Taynara’s brother reported that the two were former lovers and had never had anything serious with each other.
Health condition
Tainara remained hospitalized in the intensive care unit as of Sunday afternoon. According to the victim’s family’s lawyers, she is not in danger of death.
to Capitals A childhood friend of the victim, Leticia Dias, explained that she had already undergone surgery to remove her legs and that she would have to be transferred to another hospital, where skin grafts would be performed in the areas most affected by the drag on the asphalt.
According to her friend, Taynara lost one of her legs when she was dragged by the car. He added regretfully: “The doctor tried to restore the torn leg, but he did not succeed. Unfortunately, he had to remove both of her legs.” She explained that the amputations were performed at different times on the victim’s legs.
Furthermore, Leticia stated that her friend had brain swelling, but the CT scan showed no seriousness in the edema.
It is not yet known which hospital Tainara will be transferred to. “We’re going to have to do a skin graft on her, because while she was being dragged across the asphalt, she was left without any skin, so we’re going to have to do that skin graft,” the friend said.
Who is the victim?
Described by family and friends as a cheerful, smiling woman with a “good person,” she is a mother of two children, a 12-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl, who lives alone.
to Capitals Childhood friend Leticia Dias said the victim loved to go out and enjoy life with her friends, family and children.
“She enjoys everything she can in this life,” Letizia revealed.
Taynara was working in production for an e-commerce agency. “She was doing her little things, and was planning several things, but unfortunately this tragedy happened. She is a very good girl, but what happened to her will stay with her for the rest of her life,” the friend lamented.
