Four members of the Serrano family from Thetford, Norfolk, including parents Domingos and Maria and their twin sons Domingos and Afonso, both aged 20, died in a tragic car crash while on holiday in Portugal. The accident occurred near Castro Verde when their hire car collided head-on with another vehicle, resulting in the deaths of the family members, the 19-year-old girlfriend of one of the twins who was traveling with them, and the driver of the other car. The Serrano family, originally from the Mourao region, were reportedly on their usual vacation from England. Mourao authorities declared two days of municipal mourning in response to the tragedy and canceled local events.
