Table of Contents
A driver narrowly avoided serious injury after a single-vehicle accident occurred between late Thursday and early Friday on Estrada da Adega in Campanário, Madeira. The incident took place approximately 100 meters below the site of the former Adega football field, in a notoriously challenging section of road characterized by sharp curves and counter-curves.
Vehicle Leaves Roadway
The vehicle veered off the road and came to a stop in a heavily vegetated area. Details regarding the type of vehicle involved have not been released.
Driver Safely Exits Vehicle
According to witnesses at the scene, the driver was able to exit the vehicle without assistance. The fortunate escape was aided by the terrain, as the right side of the car bordered a steep slope, providing a relatively safe path for egress. “The slope is dozens of meters away,” one witness stated, “making it possible to exit.”
No Injuries Reported, Vehicle Removal Planned
Local news outlet DIÁRIO reports that there were no injuries sustained in the crash. Authorities are planning to remove the vehicle from the site later today.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
