Per reports, Brazil’s BR-116 is extremely dangerous and infamously nicknamed, “highway to hell.”

According to dangerousroads.org, BR-116 is “the second longest highway of the country, running from the north of Brazil to the south, roughly parallel to the coastline. It’s the worst road in the world for the sexual exploitation of children.”

It’s approximately 2,725 miles long.

Sadly, children are known to be sold for sex on BR-116.

BR-116 Is Known As The "Highway To Hell" & For Child Sex Trafficking

“It’s one of the main important highways in the country and has the highest concentration of truckers. It's also the most active road in the world for the sexual exploitation of children,” dangerousroads.org states.

Shockingly, 262 places along the BR-116, children are known to be sold for sex – the equivalent of one every ten miles.

Coincidentally, or not so coincidentally, the Sao Paulo to Curitiba section of the highway is perhaps the most dangerous.

Some of the road is unpaved, some runs along the edges of steep cliffs just waiting for drivers to slip up.

Because of this, this stretch of BR-116 is dubbed the “highway to death.”

The van driver’s condition following the attack is unknown.

Styles on the other hand is living his best life.

He recently shared a cheeky photo of himself in his underwear while pulling up silver, sparkly pants. He paired the look with a Grinch-green jacket adorned with embellished hearts.

The supposed spit added more fuel to the fire, with many claiming there was beef between Styles and Pine.

Both men went on the record to negate “Spitgate,” but many were still curious about the true status of their relationship.

Well, it seems everything between the bros are all and well!

Photos obtained by the Daily Mail show the actors embracing one another, and sharing drinks and laughs with a group of friends.

The moment was captured while the actors were in Brazil on Tuesday, December 6th.

It’s unclear why both Styles and Pine are in Brazil together, but it’s clear “Spitgate 2022” is behind them.

At the time everything started to unravel about the viral moment, a rep for Pine told PEOPLE, “This is a ridiculous story — a complete fabrication and the result of an odd online illusion that is clearly deceiving and allows for foolish speculation,” the statement read. “Just to be clear, Harry Styles did not spit on Chris Pine. There is nothing but respect between these two men and any suggestion otherwise is a blatant attempt to create drama that simply does not exist."
