Two men died after an explosion during vehicle refueling at a gas station at Praça da Cruz Vermelha in central Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, early June 7, 2025. The Fire Department said a natural-gas cylinder in the vehicle being refueled exploded. The cause had not been determined.

The driver, Guaraci Ferreira Costa, 64, died at Hospital Municipal Souza Aguiar that Saturday. Station attendant Paulo dos Santos, 61, was hospitalized in serious condition and died June 8. A third person suffered minor injuries and sought medical care independently.

Security footage shows a black sedan at the natural-gas pumps with its trunk open and a refueling hose connected at the rear. Aftermath footage shows the wrecked car, damaged canopy and debris across the forecourt. Police investigated the explosion, and nearby lanes were closed for forensic work.

Yowza!!! That’s one hell of a big explosion. Guy was reaching for the nozzle and…

Those two guys are probably still in orbit while their car won’t ever lift off again.

Two people were seriously injured after a car that was being fueled with natural gas (NGV) at a gas station exploded in the early hours of Saturday (7), at Praça da Cruz Vermelha, in downtown Rio. The victims are the driver of the vehicle, aged 64, and a gas station attendant, aged 61. The driver was hit while he was near the trunk of the car. The Fire Department's Central Headquarters was called at 00:40 to number 10, and the victims were taken to the Souza Aguiar Municipal Hospital, where they remain hospitalized. The gas station attendant suffered injuries to his arms. The victims' identities and updated health status have not been released.

The explosion occurred when the car's gas cylinder ruptured during refueling. The causes of the rupture have not yet been clarified.

The impact was so strong that it broke the windows on the first floor of the José Alencar Gomes da Silva National Cancer Institute (INCA), located near the clinic. The incident frightened patients and caused great commotion among local residents. In videos circulating on social media, it is possible to see that the gas station was destroyed by the explosion. In addition, the vehicle was also completely damaged, with pieces of tires and parts of the car scattered across the parking lot. The Rio City Hall Operations and Resilience Center (COR) reported that Mem de Sá and Henrique Valadares avenues still have lanes closed at the time of the accident. The Rio de Janeiro Traffic Engineering Company (CET-Rio) and the Military Police were at the scene. The cause of the explosion has not yet been released, and authorities are still investigating the incident. An expert examination has already been carried out at the scene.
