Tragic Accident in Ipameri Claims Young Student’s Life
On Tuesday afternoon, August 5th, the city of Ipameri, Goiás, was shaken by a heartbreaking tragedy. A school van overturned on a rural road, leading to the death of a 9-year-old girl, Celina Victoria Frões Muniz Goes. The accident happened about 35 kilometers away from the main paved road, in an area known as Mata do Calixto.
According to Police Chief Diogo Ferreira, the van belonged to an independent provider of school transportation in the countryside. Following the news, Ipameri City Hall released an official note expressing its deep sorrow and declared three days of mourning in memory of the student. The Nossa Senhora de Fátima Municipal School, where Celina studied, suspended classes out of respect, while teachers, along with the secretary of education, were present at both the wake and the burial, held in Caldas Novas.
