A tragic accident on July 16 claimed the lives of a family of three—Hérida Nascimento da Silva, Sebastião Cícero Gomes, and their 3-year-old son Miguel—on the CE-060 highway in Ceará’s Cariri region. The family was en route to a medical appointment when their car veered off the road and plunged into a deep stream near Sítio Piripiri. Authorities are investigating the cause, with attention on poor road conditions and lack of safety barriers. The tragedy has sparked renewed calls for urgent road safety improvements in the area.
