A vehicle was identified floating in the sea, between the Fonte da Areia and Porto das Salemas areas, in Porto Santo.
The vehicle that fell into the sea had one occupant inside.
A source from the Porto Santo Volunteer Firefighters confirmed to JM that the vehicle fell into a ravine, and there are, in fact, traces of that accident.
The owner of the vehicle, who was travelling in the car, a man in his 40s, has also been identified.
The corporation is now waiting for the tide to go out, expecting that, around 3:30 pm, they will be able to intervene to rescue the body from the sea, as well as the vehicle.
