The manager and son of the owner of Star Turismo e Viagens, Felipe Gabriel, 25, today accompanied the expertise of the bus involved in the accident that left 41 dead on the Alfredo de Oliveira Carvalho Highway, in Taguaí, in the interior of São Paulo . His father and mother also witnessed the play, in Fartura (SP). According to him, everyone is “emotionally shaken.” The vehicle was carrying employees of Stattus Jeans, a textile company, and ended up colliding with a truck.

TO TwitterGabriel said Stattus Jeans rented the bus to take employees to the factory, contrary to what the lawyer for the textile company, Emerson Fernandes, reported on the day of the accident. “It is important to say that the bus had no connection to the company, it was like a subcontractor hired by the employees, as if it were a capacity,” said Fernandes.

The report sought the attorney for Stattus, but did not respond to messages.

Regarding the irregularities pointed out by Artesp (São Paulo State Transportation Agency), he argued that Star Turismo is not clandestine. “The company was never clandestine, because to be clandestine it cannot have a name acting in the market. Today it is very difficult to have something that is not inspected. We have all the documents of the ANTT [Agência Nacional de Transportes Terrestres] me Artesp“, said.

According to Gabriel, the company has been operating for six years and has never experienced such a serious situation. “It is a real tragedy that nobody expected,” he said.

“They are talking a lot about the documentation, but everything is in place, we have all the papers to prove it, the bus brakes are fine, we have invoices for everything, maintenance, even the experts are here and declared that it is not a brake problem We will wait to see what happens and I leave everything in the way of God that will work ”.

Investigation

The São Paulo Civil Police awaits technical reports to clarify what happened in the accident. The analysis is expected to come out in “a week or two,” according to an expert who was at the scene.

Delegate Camila Rosa Alves said yesterday that she is investigating contradictory versions presented by the bus driver, a trucker who was allegedly overtaken by the bus and the surviving passenger of the truck involved in the accident.

According to the police, the version presented by the bus driver is that the vehicle’s brake has failed and he had to change direction to try to avoid something worse. The versions of the truck driver who would have been overtaken by the bus and the surviving passenger of the truck are similar: they point out that the bus tried to overtake in a prohibited zone.

The bus driver suffered death threats, but is now in a safe place, according to the delegate.
