José Roquette was involved in a serious accident on National Road 256 near São Manços, in the municipality of Évora. Last Friday, a collision between a bus and two cars ended in tragedy, but the former President of Sporting escaped unscathed.

According to information provided by Diana FM radio, the businessman emerged from the accident without injuries, but the incident resulted in two deaths and three serious injuries. It appears that one of the cars veered off the road and collided with the bus, which was carrying 52 passengers.

A one-year-old baby was one of the fatal victims, along with the driver (22 years old) of one of the vehicles. A 16-year-old boy and two young women aged 15 and 23 were seriously injured and were taken to Évora Hospital.

The GNR's Criminal Investigation Unit for Traffic Accidents was immediately called to the scene to determine the causes, but it has not yet been possible to obtain official information. However, an officer reportedly confirmed that, indeed, one of the cars crashed into the bus.
