SUMÁRIO

Dado como provado que um acidente que se traduziu no embate de um autocarro de passageiros (circulando pela estrada Viseu-Luso) com um helicóptero estacionado no parque de estacionamento do Hotel Palace do Buçaco, se ficou devendo exclusivamente a imperícia do condutor do autocarro, e não a qualquer falta do piloto do helicóptero, importa concluir que apenas aquele agiu culposamente.
