While riding his bike in the streets of Curitiba, the ‘Axe Murderer’ was hit by a car and left with a broken foot and facial injuries, but nothing worse than that, luckily.
In an interview with Tribuna do Parana, Silva explained it was not the first time he was involved in such an accident. Back in 2016, the 43-year-old was also hit by a car while riding his bike in Curitiba, but at that occasion, the driver left the scene. This time around, Silva was helped by the man who hit him.
