Millas Bus Crash Appeal: Victims Seek Apology from Driver

Survivors of the tragic 2017 accident express their desire for an apology as the driver maintains her innocence during the appeal trial.

  • The appeal trial for the 2017 Millas bus crash, which resulted in the deaths of six students and injuries to seventeen others, continues with emotional testimonies from survivors.
  • Victims and their families are seeking an apology from the bus driver, Nadine Oliveira, who was initially sentenced to five years in prison, four of which were suspended.
  • Oliveira consistently denies any wrongdoing, asserting that the railroad crossing barriers were open at the time of the accident.
  • The trial was temporarily suspended after Oliveira experienced a breakdown in court, leading to a psychiatric evaluation to determine her ability to continue.
  • Despite the driver's claims of innocence, multiple witnesses, including survivors, recall seeing the crossing barriers closed, contradicting her account.
