A man has been hit by a train on the Algarve line near Meia Praia, Lagos, in what has been suspected as a suicide.
The alert was given at 15:39 on Thursday afternoon and the Portimão to Lagos line was shut down while an investigation was started.
The Lagos Bombeiros, an INEM team and GNR attended the scene, reminiscent of a death last May when a woman was hit by a train in the same area and immediately was killed.
The 60-year-old British woman was on holiday in the region and was hit by the westbound service.
