A tragic accident at work occurred on the Naples metro construction site, located in the Capodichino area. According to initial information, a worker lost his life and two others were injured due to the land subsidence.
The accident occurred during work on the new metro line that connects Capodichino to Poggioreale. The workers were carrying out excavation operations when, suddenly, part of the ground gave way, overwhelming them.
The police, including the police and the fire brigade, together with technicians from the municipal administration, immediately intervened on site. The rescue operations were timely, but there was nothing that could be done for one of the workers. The other two workers, although injured, were rushed to hospital to receive the necessary treatment.
The competent authorities have launched an investigation to ascertain the causes of the accident. The safety protocols adopted on the construction site will be evaluated and whether all the necessary standards to guarantee the safety of workers have been respected. The judiciary may order further investigations to determine any liability.
The episode aroused deep emotion and concern among the workers’ colleagues and the local community. The trade unions expressed condolences for the victim and called for greater controls on construction sites to prevent further tragedies.
