Car crashes into Brazilian clothing store during livestream
A livestream by a clothing store in Brazil was cut short when a car crashed through its front window while viewers were watching, according to a report that cites local outlet A Crítica.
What happened on the livestream
The incident took place on November 5 at the Use Guta Store in Manaus. Owner Dailane Augusta da Silva Baba and her employees were showing outfits and promoting Black Friday discounts. Footage of the broadcast shows two women presenting clothes, with no sign that a vehicle was approaching.
A loud crash then interrupts the stream as a Jeep Renegade breaks through the glass entrance. A partition falls behind the women, and the screen goes dark. Separate CCTV footage reportedly shows the vehicle heading toward what looks like a parking space outside the shop before it suddenly accelerates into the building.
Driver says she fell asleep
A Crítica reported that the crash happened at about 4:30 PM local time. The driver reportedly told police she had fallen asleep at the wheel and lost control of the Jeep.
One employee suffered abrasions to her shoulder and received emergency medical attention. The store owner also said she had body pain after the collision. Neither woman suffered life-threatening injuries.
Dailane said in a statement that everyone was safe, though still shaken. “My employees are fine. We had a lucky escape. God is good all the time,” she said. The store’s glass facade was destroyed, and authorities have opened an investigation into what happened.
Not the first crash caught on camera
Similar incidents have happened while people were creating content. In September 2024, a TikToker went viral after a car hit an Ohio restaurant while she was recording a mukbang, and thirteen people were taken to hospital. In 2022, another TikToker filmed a car crashing into her workplace as she recorded a video on her last day at the job.
In the Manaus case, investigators have not yet confirmed the driver’s account that she fell asleep, and no potential charges have been announced.
