Car flies 10 meters into ravine and kills elderly couple

Correio da Manhã4 September 2026 at 01:30

A car plunged approximately 10 meters into a ravine, resulting in the death of an elderly couple. The victims, aged 83 and 84, did not survive their injuries and died at the scene of the accident.

The vehicle fell on steep terrain after leaving the road, traveling a considerable distance to the bottom of the ravine. The severity of the impact was sufficient to cause fatal injuries to the occupants.

Authorities are still investigating the causes of the accident. Among the hypotheses raised are a possible driver distraction or the sudden onset of an illness that would have compromised the driver's ability to operate the vehicle.

The case is being investigated by the competent authorities to determine with precision what caused the vehicle to leave the road and the subsequent fall into the ravine.
