Leandro Rodrigues, 23 years old, a friend of the victim and responsible for taking care of the watercraft at the Barra marina, told the DAY sadness at what happened.

“I was the one who looked for the jet ski in the sand that day. Everything that happened to him is crazy. We can’t give up hope of finding him, even alive or dead. Our minds are spinning because he was a person very good. Even those who didn’t know him were shaken”, he says.

The corporation reported that the search is carried out by teams divided into boats, with the help of drones and helicopters. The accident happened last Saturday, around 3pm, at the Quebra-mar Kiosk, which is close to the Barra pier, before gas station one.

In a video circulating on social media, it is possible to see the moment the vehicle turns upside down, while Wagno is driving at high speed in the direction of the waves.

Alerta Rio indicated, on Saturday, that the sea at Barra beach would be undertow, with waves exceeding 1.2 meters in height.
