If the goal is to only select this piece you could go straight to the point:

/o cara da pamonha bateu com o carro/

Or you can use this pattern:

/o cara(.*)no carro/

See the example .

UPDATE

So if you want to stop in the first word "car" and return everything from the beginning of the sentence use this pattern:

/^(.*?)carro/
