In the early hours of a Sunday morning on a Hungarian motorway, a coach carrying Polish pilgrims home from a sacred journey in Bosnia-Herzegovina overturned after its driver is believed to have fallen asleep, killing at least twelve people and injuring forty-seven more. The tragedy, unfolding near Mezokeresztes some 140 kilometers east of Budapest, transforms an act of faith and return into one of grief and reckoning. It asks, as such moments always do, what duties of care we owe to those who place their lives in another's hands across the long, dark miles of the night.
