Portugese bishop dies in car accident​

The Portuguese bishop of Viana do Castelo, in the far North of the country, died on Friday, 18 September, victim of a car crash.

Bishop Anacleto Oliveira, aged 74, was driving by himself on a highway when the accident occurred. Details of what caused the accident are not known, but the weather in Portugal was particularly severe that day, with heavy rainfall and strong winds.

Police say that the bishop was pronounced dead on the spot.
