BRAZILIAN starlet Pedro Severino has heartbreakingly been declared “brain dead” after being involved in an accident, it’s been claimed.
The 19-year-old was riding in the front passenger seat when the vehicle taking him training collided with a lorry on a Brazilian motorway.

The Red Bull Bragantino U20 star was immediately taken to the hospital with a critical head injury after the crash, which happened at 5:21am.
Severino – the son of former Brazil star Lucas – underwent successful neurosurgery a few hours late but is still in a critical condition.
But a doctor has sadly declared him “brain dead”, although a second must agree with the assessment before its legal confirmation.
Fellow footballer Pedro Castro was in the back seat of the car and also taken to the hospital.
He was, thankfully, discharged with minor injuries.
Breathalyser tests were conducted on both drivers, who were found not to be under the influence of alcohol.
