According to the Civil Protection, at 4:41 pm on Saturday, the alert was given for the run over of a man of about 50 years old, presumably by a light vehicle, and the victim's death was declared on the spot, forcing the cut of that national road.
The Melgaço firefighters rushed to the scene, with an ambulance, a rescue vehicle and a command vehicle, and the GNR with two patrols.
On the part of INEM, a medical vehicle from the Viana do Castelo hospital was present, but that source of the Civil Protection said that there was "no indication that a SIV vehicle", of Immediate Life Support, had gone.
In total, there were seven operational vehicles and 18 human resources on site. The use of a helicopter was considered, but it ended up not going to the scene, because the victim's death had been declared, he said.
Traffic on that national road returned to normal around 6:00 pm.
Regarding this accident, the Union of Pre-Hospital Emergency Technicians stated today that it coincides "with a long period of inoperability" of the INEM SIV ambulance, based in Melgaço, due to the lack of those specialized professionals.
In a statement, that union asks for explanations from the INEM's board of directors, alleging that there has already been another case "in which a citizen [ended up] not having timely access to differentiated emergency medical care because an ambulance [was] closed due to lack of pre-hospital emergency technicians".
