Questions

Rio De Janeiro accidents — FAQ

Where do the Rio De Janeiro accident reports come from?

From news coverage: every 15 minutes the site reads GDELT, Google News and GNews for accident headlines, and a gazetteer of world cities places a headline on the map when it names a city. A report is listed here when that place is within 65 km of central Rio De Janeiro and Rio De Janeiro is the nearest large city to it. These are news reports, not police records: the same headline syndicated by several outlets is counted once, but separate stories about one accident still count separately, and headlines without accident words or from law-firm press releases are left out.

How many accidents happen in Rio De Janeiro?

In the last 30 days, 4 accident reports named a place in or near Rio De Janeiro, most of them road accidents. That counts reports that made the news, not every collision — the official total for a city of this size is far higher.

Is this page real-time?

The report list is rebuilt every hour from the archive that the 15-minute news cycle writes. For an emergency call your local emergency number — see the emergency numbers page for Brazil.

Reports are news headlines geocoded with the GeoNames gazetteer (CC BY 4.0) and matched to the nearest city of 500,000+ people within 65 km; list rebuilt 2026-10-12T05:30 UTC. See also accidents in Brazil, all city pages, emergency numbers and how reports are placed.
