An elderly couple, Antônia Rodrigues de Araújo, 71, and her husband, escaped unharmed from a serious accident on the Serra de São Vicente in Rondonópolis, Brazil, which involved two trailers, a truck, and a car. They attribute their miraculous escape to their faith in God and Our Lady of Fatima. The accident, which occurred on Friday morning, completely blocked the road for approximately five hours. Although six others sustained minor injuries, they are all doing well.

The crash, affecting a family traveling together, saw three members of the family, including grandparents and their grandchild, among those injured. The couple's emotional testimony was shared shortly after their release from the hospital, where they expressed gratitude and reinforced their belief that divine intervention played a significant role in their survival. Antônia, who was clutching a rosary at the moment of the accident, conveyed her deep faith and the surreal feeling of experiencing what she believes to be a miracle, particularly considering how severe the accident could have been.

This incident highlights not only the importance of faith in personal coping mechanisms during traumatic events but also raises awareness about road safety in the region. The intense impact of the collision serves as a reminder of the dangers on the roads, especially with heavy vehicles involved. As many families travel during holidays and weekends, stories like Antônia's can resonate widely, emphasizing both the fragility of life and the strength found in faith during life's challenges.
