The 40-year-old truck driver was among a group of half a dozen pilgrims walking from his northwestern hometown of Ordes to Caion, about 30 kilometres (20 miles) away, said a spokeswoman for the mayor's office in Ordes.
"He survived a road accident last year and they were going to thank the 'Virgin of Miracles' of Caion" the spokeswoman said. "He did not even manage to walk one kilometre and was still in Ordes," she said.
The car struck the group of pilgrims on Saturday morning, killing the truck driver and his two aunts, aged 49 and 59.
Surviving car crashes is so utterly mundane, this sounds much more like supernatural meddling. Will the survivors be making a pilgrimage over this?
ReplyDeleteSurviving a car crash might indeed be mundane, but in this case at least it's not pedestrian.
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there.
