Cycling tragedy in Brazil: Mother of two dies in an accident before finish line

A monstrous tragedy occurred during a cycling race in Brazil. Jaiane Oliveira, a 34-year-old competitor, died after colliding with a sound truck just before the finish line. One of the speakers fell on her, causing a severe head injury. The woman has died, leaving behind two children.

The tragedy occurred on 28 July during a cycling race in Baianopolis, Brazil. As reported by the portal ladbible.com, the incident happened just before the finish line. Thirty-four-year-old cyclist Jaiane Oliveira collided with a sound truck.

One of the speakers fell directly on her as a result of the collision. One of the competitors also fell but rose briefly and reached the finish line under their own power. In an online recording, a group of people can be seen attempting to help Oliveira lying on the road.

The injured cyclist was transported to the hospital. Unfortunately, despite the doctors' efforts, she could not be saved. Jaiane Oliveira left behind two children.

As reported by The Sun, Brazilian police are investigating the accident. They will need to find out why the truck from which the speaker fell was in that location. According to one hypothesis, Oliveira had to manoeuvre just before the finish line because one of her rivals was too close to her. Is this true? Investigators will certainly determine what happened.

The cycling race organizers have expressed their condolences to the 34-year-old's loved ones. As they wrote, Jaiane's death has left a huge void in their hearts. The cyclist's funeral was extremely moving. Dozens of competitors from this sport attended. They paid homage to the deceased by participating in a procession that followed the woman's coffin. They then kept vigil at her grave.

Many comments have also appeared in cyclists' photos on social media. Users express their grief over the tragic death of the 34-year-old cyclist. They still cannot comprehend how the accident happened on the racecourse.
