According to eyewitness accounts and initial reports, the comedian’s vehicle collided with a heavy-duty truck under circumstances that remain under investigation.

The collision occurred around mid-afternoon, a particularly busy time on this route, which sees a constant stream of both commercial and private vehicles.

At the time of the accident, actor Akrobeto was reportedly alone in his car.

Emergency responders were dispatched to the scene within minutes, and despite the significant damage sustained by both vehicles, especially the heavily dented front section of the actor's car, it's been confirmed that he escaped without any life-threatening injuries.

He was assessed for potential minor injuries but chose to decline further medical treatment.

As investigations continued, the police have yet to release an official statement regarding the precise cause of the accident or whether any other drivers involved will be held for questioning.

Factors such as poor road conditions, potential mechanical failure, or human error are currently being considered as possible contributors to the incident.
