Close-up photographs of car crash victims, except in a few very rare cases, are seldom shown publicly—especially in this country.
In other countries such as Brazil, however, police reports are seemingly much more lenient regarding the release of such graphic car-crash pics .
It's strange how, here in North America, the topic of death, more specifically, photographs of death, are treated with a taboo much the same as hardcore pornography.
In fact, there was a 1996 film called "Crash" directed by the famous movie director David Cronenberg which explored a fictional sub-culture of humans who were sexually aroused by the violence and death of car-crash victims. Food for thought.
That being said, a horrific car wreck took place Wednesday in Brazil near a construction site which was said to be the future location of a new Brazilian University, UFFS (University Federal Southern Frontier in Laranjeiras do Sul / PR.)
The victim, Ronaldo Junior Mattana, aged 25, who was driving a lightweight Celtic Mitsubishi perhaps a bit too fast and carelessly, apparently went airborne after hitting a slippery spot.
The car then flipped numerous times before ending up wrapped around a tree with the deceased driver, Mattana, still hanging on by his seat-belt.
Home at the time of the accident, an elderly man, aged 72, seen in the photo below, lived only a few feet away in a shack near the accident site. The 'ol-timer narrowly missed becoming the second victim.
