Fatal Accident at Train Station: Rail Service Suspended

Rail service has been suspended since 3:30 p.m. today, Friday, November 13, on the Genoa-La Spezia line, on the section between Genoa Nervi and Recco. The suspension was necessary after a person was fatally struck by a train at the Pieve Ligure station.

The accident occurred this afternoon and required the intervention of 118 emergency responders, the Carabinieri, and the fire department, in addition to RFI personnel. Unfortunately, there was nothing that could be done for the person involved: medical personnel could do nothing but confirm the death.

Investigations by the relevant authorities are underway to reconstruct the exact sequence of events. At this time, no further information regarding the victim’s identity has been released.

The suspension of service is affecting rail traffic along the affected route, with possible delays, cancellations, and changes to schedules. The disruptions affect passengers traveling in both directions—toward Genoa and toward La Spezia.
