On a federal highway in central Brazil, five lives ended in an instant when a small car crossed into oncoming traffic and met a cement truck head-on near Cocalzinho de Goiás. Among the dead was a child; the truck driver emerged unharmed. The asymmetry of that outcome — total loss on one side, survival on the other — speaks to the brutal physics of roads where speed and mass leave no room for error. Why the car crossed the center line remains unanswered, a question that will outlast the investigation itself.
