Three relatives of Pope Francis, two
great nephews and their mother, have been killed in a traffic accident in
Argentina, police said Tuesday.
The dead include a baby of eight months
and a two-year-old toddler, police commissioner Carina Ferreyra said. Their
father, the pope’s nephew Horacio Bergoglio, is in serious condition, she told
AFP. The accident happened after midnight in the central province of Cordoba
when the family was traveling on a highway.
For reasons that are under
investigation the car hit a truck from behind. The pope’s nephew has been
hospitalized with multiple injuries. Official details of his condition have not
been released. He is the son of Alberto, the pope’s late brother.
The accident happened some 550
