The Frei Paolino Baldassari bridge, in Sena Madureira, in the interior of Acre, collapsed on Friday (June 5, 2026) and left 4 people injured, two of them in a serious condition. The governor of the state, Mailza Assis (PP), went to the site to monitor the rescue work and assistance to the victims. The structure had been interdicted preventively since Thursday (June 4), when a risk of collapse was identified. In a statement, the state government said that the bridge "had been monitored by technical teams, which carried out surveys and structural assessments of the situation." The governor said she called the company responsible for the work, which sent a team to "give a position of what really happened". Mailza stated that the causes of the collapse will be determined after the investigation. "At this time, it is also essential to ascertain the circumstances of what happened, identify possible irregularities and take all appropriate measures," he said. Ednei Muniz, 51, and Weverton Muri
