Railway traffic on the Barreiro-Setúbal line was temporarily suspended today following a fatal incident in Baixa da Banheira. Authorities were alerted to a person struck by a train, resulting in one confirmed fatality.
The disruption began as emergency services responded to the scene and worked to remove the body, a process requiring the presence of a health delegate. While the identity of the victim has not been released, the incident has prompted a temporary halt to rail service impacting commuters in the region. Investigations are underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the death, and normal operations are expected to resume once the area is cleared and authorities complete their work.
