Wiris Gustavo de Oliveira, former player for Fluminense’s under-23 team, died in a car accident at km 144 on BR-267, near Lima Duarte, in Zona da Mata Mineira, last Sunday. In the collision, a 64-year-old woman also died and three others were injured, including a child.

According to the Fire Department, the accident was a head-on collision between two cars, a Honda HRV and a Ford Focus. Wiris was driving one of them and both his death and that of the 64-year-old woman were confirmed at the scene.

Three other victims were found alive and taken by SAMU teams to the Emergency Hospital in Juiz de Fora, a neighboring city.

The midfielder was hired in February 2021, after playing for Loko Plovdiv, in Bulgaria. Wiris played 14 games for Fluminense’s under-23 team – which ended up being disbanded this year. His last club was Paracatu, which he defended this year after leaving Tricolor.
