A mishap followed by a collision between a high-capacity vehicle, caused damage to the road and support structures, namely from EMAS, but the driver of the car was unharmed..
The accident occurred at about 23,38 yesterday at Avenida Comandante Ramiro Correia, in Beja, when a car climbed the sidewalk, it ripped off about a dozen cement pins and then crashed into the wall of a building on that artery.
Those who witnessed the accident reported that the vehicle was traveling at high speed and that the driver was “chopped” with the driver of another vehicle., that followed on the path between the Escola de Santiago Maior and the Rotunda do Cemitério.
By the marks on the asphalt, it is possible to see a high-cylinder vehicle invaded the opposite lane, not having collided with any vehicle parked at the site, then turned right, climbed the sidewalk and pulled out about a dozen cement pins that delimit the space and an EMAS fire hydrant. Later it spun around and crashed into the wall of one of the buildings on the avenue., with the back left, ending up being stopped on the axis of the totally destroyed road. The driver of the car was unharmed from the accident..
The artery was closed to traffic for almost two hours to remove the vehicle and clean the road.. On site were 6 fire engines and PSP supported by 12 operational.
High speeds on Comandante Ramiro Correia avenue, there has already been a petition, addressed to the municipality by the residents for the placement of uneven walkways, but, according to one of the subscribers, the fact that it is “a preponderant vehicle for access to the hospital”, makes this work unfeasible.
