Five young people (four girls and one boy), aged between 18 and 25 years old, suffered early this morning (around 7:00 am), a spectacular accident on Rua do Comboio, in Funchal.

According to a source from the Madeiran Volunteer Firefighters, there was a Sapadores ambulance, two ambulances and a vehicle for releasing the Volunteers, two Red Cross ambulances and EMIR, plus 9 men from the Madeiran Volunteer Firefighters. 

The victims’ condition has not yet been investigated, but due to the images of the crash (which even destroyed part of the roof of a house) they must have suffered multiple injuries.
