An 89 year old man died yesterday morning, following a car accident on the EN122, from Mértola (Beja) to Vila Real de Santo António near the town of Sedas.
The death of the driver, born in Pereiro, in Alcoutim, was confirmed at the scene.
“The fatal victim, an 89-year-old man, was the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle,” said Jorge Santos, commander of the Mértola Volunteer Firefighters.
The vehicle in which the octogenarian was travelling “left the road, overturned and then wrapped itself in a eucalyptus tree, leaving the man incarcerated”.
