Miracle saved me and my wife: car driver

MARGAO: “Miracle saved me and my wife,” was the reaction of Anthony Borges, the owner of the Duster car which was rammed by the ill-fated bus before turning turtle near the Military Camp at Rawanfond on Wednesday. A sailor by profession, Anthony had just reached home before dawn on Wednesday after a successful voyage. After attending the early morning Mass at the Our Lady of Rosary Church, Navelim, Anthony with wife Pramila dropped their children to school before heading to Chandor to inquire about the health of his mother-in-law.

The  air bags saved me and my wife from the impact,” he recalled, while thanking the almighty for the miracle.
