Tragédia em família. Mãe tenta enterrar filho, enquanto num acidente filha e nora morrem

Reportagem: Gabriel Serafim Parece mais roteiro de filme, mas é mais um triste capítulo na história de vida e morte da dona de casa Ruth da Silva Torres Farias, que tenta há cinco meses enterrar o filho, que morreu de forma misteriosa em Portugal. Depois de conseguir que o corpo fosse transportado de volta para o Espírito Santo, mas se deparar com problemas de identificação, ela esperava familiares na manhã desta terça-feira (11) em frente ao Departamento Médico Legal (DML) de Vitória quando veio a notícia: no caminho, eles sofreram um grave acidente de carro. Uma filha ea nora estão mortas. O acidente aconteceu na Avenida Norte-Sul, na saída do Terminal de Carapina, na Serra por volta das 8h10. Um ônibus da Viação Unimar, que fazia a linha 519, acertou em cheio o Clio, placas DRB 8743, que levava cinco familiares de dona Ruth. A colisão aconteceu no cruzamento com a Rua M, que é controlado por um semáforo.
