A vacationer who fell on the rocks of the eastern jetty of the bar last night Faro-Olhão, on the island of Farol, suffering an open fracture in one of his legs, had to be removed as a matter of urgency by the standby elements of the ISN lifeguard station in Olhão.
The operation, which took place at around 21 pm and was coordinated by the Captain of the Port of Olhão, also had the participation of a Red Cross team, after activation by CODU.
The victim had to be stabilized before he could be transported to the port of Olhão, where an ambulance was waiting to take him to the Hospital de Faro.
The Maritime Authority issued an alert so that people "pay special attention when traveling on this pier, while using their mobile phone at the same time." It is that, he stresses, "in four days, this is the second person to fall off the jetty in this situation."
