| VITORIA, Brazil – A week after Miss Brazil 2010, Deborah Lyra, was released from hospital, video showing the immediate aftermath of her head-on crash has surfaced. The G1 network received the video, which shows the crash scene and rescue of the beauty queen, from merchant Zelio Muratori who recorded the images.

Muratori said that drivers who stopped to help thought that Debora was dead and so they helped the others first. “She was unconscious,” he told G1. Muratori was returning from Presidente Kennedy, in the southern part of the state, when he came across the accident and began recording the scene.
“The driver of the (VW) Gol was half beside himself, and he constantly asked us to explain what was happening, and he asked how his girlfriend was. The other girl asked to rest and she said she was exhausted,” Muratori said.
The merchant said that several people called the fire department and that the rescue was quick. “A team from Emergency Care Service (SAMU) came first. When they took the model's pulse they saw that she had vital signs and then they put an oxygen mask on her,” he said.

Corporal Edmar Frasson of the Fire Department, which helped to rescue the victims of the accident, said that the biggest complication was that the mother of Hermon Sauza, who perished in the accident, was not using a seat belt. “The woman's body projected forward over the young man who was driving,” he reported.
Corporal Frasson said that the motorists who stopped to help in the accident acted correctly in not messing with those who were tangled in the wreckage.
Debora Lyra thanked the person who helped on the day of the accident. If the procedure had gone wrong, the model could have become a paraplegic. “In six months, I want to be recovered. I am very grateful to the paramedics that rescued me, because they took me in a way that didn't bend my neck, which could have caused big problems for me,” she said.
Rescuers from SAMU were happy with the recognition. “We stabilized the cervical spine of the young woman and put on a neck brace. We didn't realize that it was Miss Brazil, only at the hospital when her friend told the team working on her who she was. We are very happy to have helped a family. Now, the worse of it is over,” said Herton Mascarenhas from SAMU.
