Oh how tragic. RIP .Prayers for all involved.
I am deeply saddened by this news. May she rest in peace. She will be in my prayers for the repose of her soul, as will be her fellow peregrina and their families. Perhaps one consolation is that she was on pilgrimage and experiencing a highlight of her life - albeit tragically cut short. All the more reason to remind us all how short, how precious life is and to remind our dear ones how important they are to us.The way out of Leon, two ladies were heavily hit by the vehicles. One died.
Let’s not forget to have the safety as the priority number one.
My condolences to the dutch lady who is early 60s.

I was shopping in Mercadona, in León, afterwards I started to drive home, waiting at the traffic lights I observed a couple of dozen pilgrims passing in front of me, the lights changed and they continued to cross, I had to sound the horn sharply as they did not seem to notice the lights were against them, too busy talking, by the look of things, A couple of weeks before I was travelling between Carrion de las Condes and León on the shared road with the Camino, and I saw several pilgrims walking on the road, instead of the perfectly good track running alongside. so do not always blame the driver. May they rest in Peace, Pilgrims take care
DEP peregrina.The friend is in critical condition. The accident happened in or near the tunnel at the entrance of Fresno del Camino.

The driver of the deadly collision was 19 years old, was a beginner and drove into the sidewalk where the Dutch pilgrims were walking.
The young man, who was accompanied by two friends and was headed to the town of the village of Valdoncina, lost control and suffered a flat tire in the underpass access to Fresno del Camino. The Guardia Civil investigates the causes of the accident and the possibility of excessive speed after he tested negative for alcohol and drugs.
Misfortune and inexperience could have been the lethal combination behind the brutal crash into two Dutch pilgrims, a 63-year-old woman who died minutes later at the Hospital de León, and her 67-year-old companion who remains hospitalized with a grave prognosis.
RIP Peregrina
It has been decades since I read the book but the words above made me think of the novel The Bridge of San Luis Rey.Injury, and perhaps even death, are closer to us on the Camino than we might like to imagine.
