My Portugese is a little rusty. LOL Was there really a guy in the truck that fell into the crater?
WOW! [wow] [oops]
I the truck we see in the picture no, but some trucks and a van fell into the crater. Nobody knows how many people died in the accident, but the police received information of 7 people desapeared in that area. I saw in the News now the GPS system in the van indicates it is inside the crater, 30 meter below the road. The van driver make a contact by phone to friends, but the rescue team do not found the van yet. It is very dangerous to enter in the crater because the rain can do new collapses.
That will be quite the drama - trying to rescue someone without putting more lives in danger.
Keep us posted on the latest news about this, por favor.
This doesn’t look good:(
