A Spanish man making a pilgrimage to thank the "Virgin of Miracles" for his survival in a road crash was killed along with two aunts when a car hit them, an official said Monday.
She has a dark sense of humour, that Virgin.
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…
Traffic officials said they suspect the driver of the car that struck the pilgrims fell asleep at the wheel.
