Brazilian Woman Killed
By Husband's Coffin
Rio de Janeiro - A
67-year-old widow was
hit in the head by her
husband's coffin and
died Monday morning in
southern Brazil.
The incident occurred in
the small town of Tapes
in southern Rio Grange
do Sul state. According
to the Federal Highway
Police (PRF), Marciana
da Silva Barcelos was
sitting in the back seat
of a Toyota Hilux pickup
truck, which was
transporting her
husband's coffin to the
cemetery in nearby
Alvorada town.
The truck was on the
RS-717 state road when
it was hit in the back
by an Alfa Romeo car.
The strong impact caused
the coffin slide forward
and crash into the cab,
hitting Barcelos in the
head. She died
instantly.
The PRF said that the
drivers of both cars
will be questioned and
investigations will be
made to determine the
responsibilities.
