A drunk driver ploughs into pedestrians in the Algarve resort town of Albufeira, injuring 12 people early this morning, according to Portuguese police. Authorities say the group includes two police officers and a Polish national.
Portuguese police report that the suspect is a 35-year-old Portuguese man. The accounts also indicate that he does not stop when ordered to do so, prompting the collision. Both outlets describe the incident as occurring during the early hours, when nightlife activity in the town is ongoing.
The coverage aligns on the main facts: the location (Albufeira), the time frame (early this morning), the number of injured (12), and the victims’ categories (two police and a Polish national). The additional detail provided by one source is the suspect’s age, while both attribute the information to statements by Portuguese police.
