  "account": "Luanda, Angola — Five of the 30 injured individuals in a recent road accident in Cabo Ledo are in critical condition, according to Health Minister Sílvia Lutucuta. The incident involved a Real Express bus that overturned early Sunday morning. No fatalities have been reported among the passengers. Among the most serious cases, patients have suffered fractures, lung contusions, a stable cervical spine fracture, and a fractured clavicle. A child is being evaluated after experiencing a nosebleed and undergoing further tests. One patient with a history of epilepsy has had several seizures since the accident and remains hospitalized. Most victims sustained bruises and abrasions, but all are under medical observation to prevent potential delayed complications, including internal bleeding. Of the hospitalized patients, 22 are adults and eight are children. The next 24 to 48 hours are crucial for the victims' recovery, as this period is when trauma-related complications may manifest. This accident occurred six days after another fatal road tragedy in Cuanza-Sul Province, which resulted in 22 deaths and 12 injuries.",
