Serious bus accident on the road between Chã das Caldeiras and Campanas de Cima.
A serious road accident occurred late Saturday afternoon involving a bus that was making its usual route between Chã das Caldeiras and Campanas de Cima, on the island of Fogo.
According to available information, the vehicle is believed to have veered off the road on the winding road connecting Chã das Caldeiras to Campanas de Cima via the North, eventually falling into a deep stream in that mountainous area.
The accident quickly mobilized local rescue resources, including emergency teams and civilians, who went to the scene to provide first aid and assist in the rescue of the occupants who were on board.
To date, authorities have not yet released a detailed official count of the exact number of injured or potential fatalities resulting from the fall, and more information is expected as rescue operations progress on the ground.
The road linking these towns is characterized by its complexity and rugged terrain, once again raising concerns about safety and traffic conditions for public transport and vehicles that ensure daily connections in the region.
Further updates will be released by the relevant authorities as soon as the accident perimeter is fully secured and the official situation is determined.
