A collision between a Carris Metropolitana bus and a heavy goods vehicle caused 10 slightly injured people on the A8 motorway, near Malreira, in the municipality of Mafra, Lisbon district. The accident occurred this Monday, at 08:15, in the North/South direction of the road.

There were 52 passengers traveling inside the bus. The 10 occupants who suffered slight injuries were taken to hospitals, with three taken to the emergency department of Hospital de Santa Maria and the remaining seven to Hospital Beatriz Ângelo in Loures.

At the scene of the accident, there were a total of 26 operatives and 11 vehicles, including ambulances from the fire brigades of Malreira, Mafra, Zambujal, Loures and Famões, as well as the Medical Emergency and Resuscitation Vehicle from Torres Vedras.
