A wealthy businessman tragically died in a horrific crash just hours after collecting his new sports car.

The 45-year-old veered into oncoming traffic, left the road, and was ejected from the vehicle after it spun and hit a tree.

He died at the scene last Thursday (4 Sept) afternoon.
The tragedy happened on the BR-386 motorway between Sarandi and Carazinho, north-west of Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Jonas had picked up the Porsche in Rondinha just two and a half hours before the crash, as reported by Need To Know.
The car had been bought for commercial use by Flash Padel, the sports court business he co-owned.
The company paid tribute, saying: “With an easy smile and unique charisma, Jonas was quick to make friends and known for his relaxed, cheerful nature.
“His contagious energy left a mark wherever he went.”
Originally from Ibirubá, Jonas had celebrated his birthday just two days earlier.
He was also active in agribusiness, raising horses and beef cattle – a passion he often shared on social media.
He is survived by his wife and nine-year-old daughter and was laid to rest in his hometown on Friday (5 Sept).
