The Assembly of the Republic unanimously approved this Friday a vote of condolence presented by Chega for the death of three people in an accident with a bus leaving Guimarães for Fatima on May 21.
Around 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, a bus, coming from Guimarães, with pilgrims from three parishes of that municipality in the district of Braga, bound for the Sanctuary of Fátima, crashed on Highway 1 (A1), in Mealhada ( Aveiro district).

The vehicle crossed the opposite lane and hit a light pole, causing three deaths and 33 injuries, six of them with serious injuries and five in critical condition.
The fatalities are the driver and owner (63 years old) of the bus, another 77-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman.
In the vote, the deputies recall this “tragic accident” and express “their sorrow for the death of the victims”.
