A woman in Brazil was killed by the coffin carrying her late husband when the hearse they travelled in was hit by another vehicle, local media reported.

 

Marciana Silva Barcelos, 67, was on the way to the cemetery to bury her husband, 76-year-old Josi Silveira Coimbra, who died of a heart attack the night before at a dance, Folha de Sao Paulo daily reported.

 

The hearse was hit from the rear by another car, local police told several newspapers, causing the coffin to slam into the head of Ms Barcelos, who was sitting in the front passenger seat.

 

The accident occurred about 110 kilometres south of Porto Alegre city in Brazil's southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul.
