Drivers in Cape Verde demand safety on road marked by curves and lack of protection

A bus accident killed 25 people on the Cape Verdean island of Fogo, when the vehicle fell on a road characterized by steep descents, sharp curves and cliffs without any protection. The route where the accident occurred is sought by travelers precisely because of its landscapes.

Drivers and residents of the region are now demanding greater safety on that road. The route is known to be dangerous, with the lack of protective guardrails along the most critical stretches of the road.

The accident occurred on the island of Fogo, one of the islands of the Cape Verde archipelago. The authorities have not yet disclosed the exact causes of the bus crash.
