The tragic accident that occurred on the morning of last Sunday, July 16, on the CE-060 highway, between Caririaçu and Juazeiro do Norte, casts a veil of mourning over the Cariri region.

The irreparable loss of an entire family, made up of Hérida Nascimento da Silva, Sebastião Cícero Gomes and little Miguel Nascimento Gomes,

just 3 years old, highlights the fragility of life and the unpredictability of destiny.

The information, broadcast by TV Verdes Mares and confirmed by the Ceará Military Fire Department, paints a bleak picture.

The family, who live in Várzea Alegre, were heading to Juazeiro do Norte, on a trip that, under normal conditions, would have lasted about an hour.

The reason for the trip, a surgical procedure that little Miguel would undergo, adds a layer of sadness to the tragedy. The hope of healing and well-being was abruptly interrupted, turning into pain and mourning

The accident, which occurred around 7 a.m., resulted in the vehicle falling into a stream near Sítio Piripiri.

The depth of the water, around 5 meters, made rescue difficult and contributed to the fatal outcome.
