When bad luck strikes, there’s little one can do about it but hope for the least harmful outcome possible.

However, nothing can prepare you for a double dose of bad luck administered at once. That’s what a 27-year-old woman rider from northern Brazil experienced when she found herself cut off by a careless driver and thrown off from the saddle of her scooter onto the pavement as a result of the impact.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, she then disappeared completely into a manhole, much to the bewilderment of bystanders. The video uploaded by ViralHog was captured by a surveillance camera on August 5, 2020 in Paragominas, in the Brazilian state of Pará. It shows the exact moment the woman on a scooter is hit by a red Chevrolet Prisma sedan whose driver turned left, cutting off the rider who was going straight.

As the woman was hit by the car and thrown on the tarmac, she slid head down into the sewer gallery, completely disappearing from sight. Witnesses quickly rushed to the scene and lifted a big chunk of the sidewalk, which enabled them to gain access to the gallery. As they lifted her out of the manhole, she appeared visibly shaken but was fortunately able to stand on her feet, if only briefly.

The footage also reveals that she emerged from the manhole without the helmet she was wearing when the crash happened. She probably took it off herself, unless it cracked in the impact. Hopefully, it did the job it was designed for. As reported by Brazil’s UOL News, the accident caused Mayara Santos spinal injury and she now needs surgery in order not to risk aggravating her condition and affect the movement of the legs.

As for the culprit, he is willing to provide all the necessary assistance for the victim. What’s mind-boggling is that police was not called at the scene and the woman’s family did not file a report against the Chevy driver as he promised to help as much as he can. Here’s hoping the scooter rider will receive the necessary medical care and get well soon.
