They left home praying for a cure. Minutes later, they were gone. On a quiet Sunday morning, a young couple and their 3-year-
old son never made it to the hospital. Their car plunged into a hidden stream off the CE-060, turning hope into horror.
Questions now haunt the highway, and a grieving town dema… Continues…
The crash that killed Hérida Nascimento da Silva, Sebastião Cícero Gomes, and little Miguel shattered far more
than a vehicle; it tore a hole in the heart of Várzea Alegre. They were not heading to a party or a trip, but to a hospital in Juazeiro do Norte, clinging to the fragile promise
of a surgical procedure that might help their son. Instead, a 5-meter drop into a stream near Sítio Piripiri ended three lives in seconds.
As investigators search for answers about what went wrong on that stretch of the CE-060, neighbors
and relatives are left with only silence and memories. Their grief has turned into a plea: for safer roads
, clearer signage, and real accountability. In the candles, tears,
and whispered prayers, one question echoes over and over—
how many more families must be broken before anything truly changes?
