According to La Repubblica “the three injured were hit by the ballast stones as they stood on the road next to the tracks. Their condition is not serious. The lorry’s load plowed into the roadway, causing extensive damage to the infrastructure in the area, with poles uprooted and cars – at least thirty – hit by the stones like bullets. The entire area was closed to traffic.
as reported by ERT, the accident was allegedly caused by the failure of the mechanism that operates the change of direction, but the investigations that have already begun will clarify the dynamics of an accident that might have dramatic consequences.”
“The last freight car, belonging to a foreign company, derailed at around 4.30pm. and some stones from the railway ballast rose from the ground and hit a regional (passenger) train, which continued its journey and reached the station. The railways said there was no impact on high-speed train traffic and that regional trains were stopping at nearby stations. The causes of the incident are being investigated,” notes Corriere della Sera.
