A railway worker has died after being
hit by a train in Rubiero, near Reggio Emilia.
Carabinieri police are investigating the incident that killed on
Wednesday night the employee of Mercitalia, which is owned by
Italy's State-controlled railway company Ferrovie dello Stato
(FS).
According to preliminary investigations, the man was walking
along the tracks to reach the station after finishing his work
shift.
He probably got too close to the tracks and was hit by the
regional train, according to investigative sources.
Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini expressed
"deep sorrow" for the deadly incident, voicing his condolences
and asking for a detailed report in a note issued late Wednesday
by the transport ministry.
