Traffic on the Western railway line was cut and by 12:00 it had not yet reopened.

Contacted by Lusa, a source from Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP) said that the line remained cut so that the authorities could continue their “diligence”.

The railway structure and the train are undamaged, according to the same source.

The causes of the accident are still unknown.
