Portugal’s interior minister resigns after car crash that killed road worker

Eduardo Cabrita's driver accused of negligent homicide and speeding after death nearly five months ago

Portugal's interior minister has stepped down nearly five months after his driver was involved in a car crash that killed a road worker while the government official was on the back seat.

Eduardo Cabrita, who joined prime minister's Antonio Costa's cabinet in 2015, when the Socialist party came to power, had been repeatedly urged to resign since the fatal accident.
