A ferry making the connection between Belém and Trafaria became adrift on the Tagus River and hit a pier, resulting in two injured. The vessel had to be subsequently towed to shore.
The accident occurred when the ferry lost control and was carried by the current, colliding with the pier structure. Authorities were alerted to the situation and mobilized emergency resources to the location.
The two injured were assisted on site and later transported to receive medical care. The extent of the injuries was not specified in the news.
The crossing between Belém and Trafaria is a regular fluvial connection in the Lisbon area, used by residents and tourists crossing the Tagus River.
