Yutz. Fatal accident on the railway, an investigation opened

A personal accident took place this morning at 9:10 a.m. on the Thionville-Anzeling line, near Yutz. The driver of a freight train, alerted by an abnormal noise, stopped his convoy and warned the SNCF on call.

She immediately went there and discovered the body of a man. The Hagondange, Yutz and Thionville rescue centers were mobilized but the individual unfortunately died instantly. The men from the Thionville police station as well as the forensic science service were also dispatched to the scene. An investigation has been opened and will have to determine whether it is an accident or a desperate gesture.

As this is a track exclusively devoted to freight traffic, the accident had no impact on the timetables of passenger trains.
