Flags at half mast today at Ronda¿s town hall. Today marks the first of 3 days of mourning for the 3 residents of this town who died in the accident. This is how the town remembers 50-year-old Vicente Pérez. He ran the local yoga and meditation centre. This is where he had organised the volunteer trip with another 13 companions.
Among the deceased are Josefa Morán, Nieves López and this young man, Francisco Pedrosa, a 31-year-old from Granada. He had posted the most photos of any throughout the trip, claiming it to be one of the best experiences of his life. In his hometown, Vélez de Benaudalla, residents paid homage to him this past weekend. The Spanish consulate in Bombay has already obtained the licences to repatriate their bodies.
6 of the injured persons returned today. 3 women still remain here, in Bangalore¿s Columbia Asia hospital. The group of Spaniards had gone to India to visit the Vicente Ferrer Foundation, in Anantapur. They were here for 2 and a half days. Afterwards, they started their holidays around the south of the country. They set out at 7 o¿clock that morning in this minibus, towards the state of Tamil Nadu.
The accident took place around 200 kilometres from the foundation. Now, police are investigating the accident and what would cause a lorry to hit the minibus at such a high speed.
