When love hurts (literally)
Ah, the romance. That feeling that makes you float… or, in this case, fly through the air after a crash. A couple in Santa Catarina learned the hard way that arguing on a motorcycle is not a good idea, especially when a Chevrolet Aveo decides to intervene in the conversation. Spoiler: they ended up in the hospital.
The road drama that nobody asked for
It all started as just another episode of “Love and Hate on Two Wheels”. Witnesses saw the couple (him, looking angry; she, probably wondering why he didn’t choose an Uber) arguing in a market before getting on the motorcycle. The man took off as if he were in Fast & Furious: Santa Catarina Drift, but the plot went awry when a car hit them, sending them straight to the pavement. Consolation prize? A wooden post stopped their flight.
The paramedics from the Red Cross and Civil Protection arrived like the superheroes no one wants to need, finding the unconscious couple (because, obviously, helmets are optional, right?). Meanwhile, the driver of the Aveo, with just a few scratches, watched the show as if he were just another spectator. “I just wanted to drive in peace,” he must have thought.
The couple, young people of about 25 years old (because at that age one believes they are immortal), were rushed to the hospital. The ironic thing? They weren’t even from the area. What a way to tourist.
The road authorities arrived late, as always, but at least they managed to flag the area and remove the vehicles with a tow truck. The person responsible for the accident has yet to be determined, but something tells us that the motorcycle and the Aveo did not crash alone.
Moral: If you are going to argue, do it on dry land. Or better yet, save it for therapy. Motorcycles are not a couch for couples in crisis.
