SAO PAULO, Brazil – Police say a woman has died on the way to a cemetery when a traffic accident hurled her husband’s coffin against the back of her neck.
Police said 67-year-old Marciana Silva Barcelos was in the front passenger seat of the hearse when the accident occurred Monday in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul.
Barcelos died instantly.
Her 76-year-old husband, Josi Silveira Coimbra, died Sunday of a heart attack while dancing at a party.
The driver of the hearse and Barcelos’ son suffered minor injuries.
