Widow killed by husband's coffin
A widow has been killed by her late husband's coffin in a freak accident on the way to his funeral.

Brazilian Marciana Silva Barcelos, 67, was on her way to the cemetery when the hearse she was travelling in was hit by another car.

The coffin was thrown forward by the impact and slammed into her head, killing her instantly.

Her husband Josi Silveira Coimbra, 76, had died the night before from a heart attack at a dance.

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

The accident occured in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil's Southernmost state.
