Association claims 'tuk-tuk' that struck pedestrian was out of control

Correio da Manhã7 September 2026 at 15:55

The National Association of Taxi Candidates (ANCAT) issued a statement to clarify the accident involving a "tuk-tuk" vehicle that occurred on Sunday in Lisbon. In the document, the association claims the tuk-tuk in question was out of control at the time of the incident.

The accident resulted in injuries to a woman, who was struck by the vehicle. The situation occurred in the Portuguese capital on Sunday, the day the Pride Lisboa event took place, an event that attracted many people to the city center.

ANCAT, the entity that represents taxi candidates, chose to speak publicly about the case through an official statement, seeking to clarify the circumstances of the collision and the dynamics of what happened.

The tuk-tuk incident raises questions about the safety of these vehicles in the city of Lisbon, especially in areas with large concentrations of people, as happened on the day of Pride Lisboa.
