LISBON, PORTUGAL – FEBRUARY 21, 2020 Wild Friday night in Lisbon ended fatally for three young men. They were speeding through the city streets in a Mercedes A45 AMG sports car, challenging each other and filming adrenaline-filled stories of their fast driving for their Instagram. At times, they exceeded speeds of 190 mph (300 kph).
Their extremely dangerous behavior behind the wheel unfortunately ended in a tragic accident that claimed the lives of all three. The force of the impact was so severe that it even tore some of them apart.
- Nuno Martins
- T.S.
- J.C.
The youngest victim was identified as 22-year-old Nuno Martins. The second victim is a 34-year-old man known only by the initials T.S. The third is a man, J.C., originally from the Cape Verde Islands, who was living in Portugal as a foreign worker.
Over 30 rescuers and firefighters responded at the crash site. All of them expressed their astonishment to the media at how the men could have reached such incredible speeds on the Segunda Circular road. Many of them said it wasn’t even possible given the condition of the road.
