Sagres - one dead as car plunges over 50 metre cliff

CarCarshBeahRocksA car plunged over a cliff near Sagres on Saturday night, October 22, almost breaking in two on the rocks below.

Emergency services were alerted in the evening and rescue service personnel were lowered 50 metres to a ledge where the mangled vehicle lay - with a body still inside the twisted metal.

According to the National Maritime Authority, the alert was given at 20:10 on Saturday and the Maritime Police immediately were dispatched along with emergency services.

They were met by Vila do Bispo bombeiros and the operation began to get to the vehicle by lowering rescuers over the cliff edge.

At around 23:00 it was confirmed that there was a body in the wreckage. This was cut free, winched up the cliff and taken to the Portimão hospital for a post mortem.
