Brazil. A woman committed suicide by throwing herself under a moving truck. Suicide by truck, also known as “truck suicide” or “pedestrian–vehicle suicide,” occurs when an individual intentionally puts themselves in the path of a moving truck with the intent of causing their own death. While suicides by any means are tragic, suicide by truck is less common compared to other methods.
