Correio da Manhã6 September 2026 at 23:37

The prime minister of Cape Verde promised a "serious and thorough" investigation to determine the causes of the crash that occurred on the island of Fogo. The head of Government made this statement after the accident.

The Cape Verde Road Institute should go to the scene of the accident to assess the road conditions and circumstances of the occurrence. This technical assessment is part of the announced investigation process.

The Cape Verdean authorities thus intend to clarify what caused the crash and determine any responsibilities related to the state of the road or other factors.
