An unlicensed pick-up truck driver killed a mother and her daughter when he crashed into a restaurant.
Horror footage shows how the family could see the vehicle hurtling towards them at the last minute as they sat at an outdoor table eating.
Rosana Pedroso Fávaro, 50, and 20-year-old, Sofia Caroline, died instantly when the wayward Volkswagen Amarok ploughed into them.

Two men were taken to hospital with injuries, as reported on Need To Know.
One has been named as Edson Mariano, Rosana’s widower and Sofia’s dad.
He remained in the ICU for two days after the incident, which happened on the evening of Saturday (27 Jul).
He still doesn’t know that his wife and daughter have died, it is understood.
Edson’s brother-in-law, 71-year-old José Pedro da Silva, said: “His condition is quite delicate. He is intubated and sedated.
“They had to amputate his right leg at thigh level, just above the middle.”
He will reportedly undergo another procedure for a fractured pelvis.
The pick-up truck driver was taken from the scene in Ibiporã, west of São Paulo, Brazil, to a hospital in nearby Londrina.
His condition is unclear, but he is still in hospital under police guard, it is understood.
The police say his driving licence was revoked in May 2020 and was never reinstated.
Prosecutors have requested that he be taken into custody with no time limit.
A responding police officer said the suspect “was driving the wrong way and went through a stop sign before the accident”.
The restaurant closed temporarily following the tragedy.
The family, who owns a supermarket, were visiting relatives.
They were laid to rest in Icaraíma, where Rosana was originally from, on Monday (29 Jul).
Sofia’s sister, 16, is being supported by a psychologist.
She was not at the restaurant.
