"A heart that rotates between two human silhouettes and that symbolizes "the emptiness that the person you lose leaves you and the love that remains". It is the message of the sculpture made by the artist Hugo Santos that since yesterday remembers, in the gardens of O Señal, the victims of the highway. The opening ceremony was attended by representatives of the Stop Accidents platform, the association for assistance and guidance to those affected by traffic accidents that promotes the initiative, and of the Cangas City Council, which collaborates by facilitating public space and financing part of the costs, as well as fifty motorcyclists, a group that suffers from the problem and is in solidarity with the cause."
