Worker hit by train during railway track building incident - Workers involved in the construction of railway tracks
In the district of Göppingen, a significant incident unfolded earlier today. A railway worker was severely injured during track construction in Geislingen an der Steige, according to a spokesperson for the Federal Police. The exact name of the worker, however, has not been disclosed in the available search results.
The incident led to a temporary closure of the railway line between Geislingen and Amstetten. The affected railway line was quickly closed to ensure the safety of other workers and passengers.
The gravity of the situation prompted a rescue operation. A helicopter was swiftly dispatched to the scene, landing on the federal highway B10 to facilitate the transportation of the injured worker to a hospital. The helicopter's presence on the highway temporarily closed the road, causing traffic disruptions.
The federal highway B10 was closed for a period, as reported by another police spokesperson. The closures were lifted in the evening, allowing traffic to resume its normal flow.
The Federal Police have launched an investigation into the incident, and more information is expected to be released in due course. Our thoughts are with the injured worker and their family during this difficult time.
