SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) -- Police say a woman has died on the way to a
cemetery when a traffic accident hurled her husband's coffin against
the back of her neck.

Police say 67-year old Marciana Silva Barcelos was in the front
passenger seat of the hearse when the accident occurred Monday in the
southern state of Rio Grande do Sul.

Barcelos died instantly.

Her 76-year-old husband Josi Silveira Coimbra died Sunday of a heart
attack while dancing at a party.

The driver of hearse and Barcelos' son suffered minor injuries.
