It was another one Fridayreally very difficult, for the railway traffic. A person was invested in the area of via Galatinain the Caserta hamlet of San Clemente, on the border with Maddaloninear one of the transitions to secondary levels existing along the side streets. But the exact location of the fatal accident was uncertain for several hours: what remains of the body was found along the tracks, not near the level crossing. Therefore it is not known whether theaccident either due to an accidental crossing with closed barriers or because the man was walking along the roadbed. The hypothesis of an extreme gesture has not been ruled out but the preferred path is that of a tragic accident.
The dynamics still need to be built. The person hit, who from summary external necropsy reports appears to be a immigrant, was not identified. The body has been made available to the judicial authorities: only instrumental tests will be able to provide any certain indications. On site Polfer agents they carried out all the necessary checks. If the hypothesis were to be confirmed climbing over the bars with the moving train the list of people who died near a regularly closed level crossing would grow longer.
Give her 3.40pmthat is, from the moment the body was found there was circulation suspended. And it has been so for a long time to allow for the complicated surveys and inspections of the magistrate. All weekend commuter traffic went haywire. The first long-distance train blocked for hours was the Freccia Argento 8314 from Rome Termini to Lecce. Only some long-distance trains were diverted and rerouted on the historic Caserta-Naples line. For all other attempts, a replacement bus service has been activated. And once again there Caserta-Foggia returns to the news. This time not due to the continuous failures of the ancient train control systems, not due to the level crossing bars having gone haywire but due to an investment. The episode, also thanks to generic indications, triggered searches and checks along the old railway road both in the territories of Maddaloni and Valle di Maddaloni.
The Environmental guards, which have the task of guaranteeing safety along the hilly areas, have conducted patrols for preventive verification of possible further accidents. «It’s not psychosis – he explains Ciro Materazzo responsible for the GAV – but prevention along a hilly route which has often been the scene of investments and extreme gestures”. For regional inter-regional traffic it was chaos with the cancellation of all the main trains in the afternoon. The provincial secretariats of. make their voices heard Filt-Cgil, Fit-Cisl And UilTrasporti: «It is yet another episode that highlights how the safety of traveling staff and travelers is threatened by careless crossings at level crossings». Angelo Lustro (Regional Filt-Cgil) specifies: «The Pai-Pl system against cars that block the roadways is very good. But there is only one possible solution: the suppression of all secondary level crossings and above all the dismantling of the now inadequate Caserta-Foggia line.”
