The pain of losing an entire family caused commotion among the population of Sidrolândia,

located in the interior of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, where relatives,

friends and residents paid their last respects to

Drielle Leite Lopes and her three children,

Helena, 10 years old, João Lúcio, 2

, and José Augusto, just 3 months old.

A mother and three children were victims

of a tragic accident that occurred on the BR-060.

The scene at the wake, held at the city’s City Council,

was marked by emotion, revolt and a deep state of shock among the family members.

The tragedy, which took the lives of four people from the same family

, happened on Sunday night, between

Sidrolândia and Campo Grande

. The family had gone to visit Drielle’s mother

to share the happy news of buying their own home,

which they had made the previous week.

According to the State Public Prosecutor’s Office,

the driver of the Corsa attempted an unsuccessful overtaking of a truck,

hit the side of the heavy vehicle and collided with a Saveiro, where Drielle’s family was.
