The worker who died today was only twenty years old Naples following an accident at work which occurred on the construction site of the new metro between Capodichino and Poggioreale. Three other workers were injured, two seriously.
According to an initial reconstruction of the facts, the twenty-year-old worker was driving a train to transport materials on the tracks of the Secondigliano-Poggioreale route. The vehicle, following technical problems or human error – the dynamics are being investigated – it would suddenly pick up speed, going out of control. At this point there would have been an impact, fatal for the driver. Two other workers who were on board, however, managed to jump off and were injured. A third worker on the construction site, who was on foot, witnessed the scene and was slightly injured in the accident: it was he who raised the alarm.
Of the two seriously injured workers, both in reserved prognosis, a 54-year-old, in an unconscious state, suffered a head injury and is hospitalized at the Ospedale del Mare under code red; the other is a 59-year-old, now in shock, he suffered a bruised leg and is at Cardarelli, also in code red.
