Yesterday evening, an accident involving two cars on the 'new' bridge, which connects Portimão and Lagoa, caused five injuries.
The collision occurred at 7:15 pm, with 10 emergency crew from the Portimão Volunteer Firefighters and the National Republican Guard (GNR) dispatched to the scene, to help those injured.
Traffic in the Lagoa/Portimão direction was interrupted for some time, while assistance was provided to those involved in the accident.
A 45 year old woman was taken to Portimão Hospital, but the remaining 4 subsequently refused to be taken, due to their injuries being considered minor.
