On line 6 past the Eiffel Tower, which is heavily used by tourists and on which the accident occurred, no trains ran at all until noon.
This has been announced by the transport company RATP. Incapacity for work also occurred on three other lines. Last Saturday, a 45-year-old woman got her coat stuck in the automatically closing subway door as she stepped out of the Bel Air station. She was killed by the oncoming train in front of her husband and son.
Metro drivers protest against the fact that the driver of the stricken train was investigated on Thursday for negligent homicide, reported the channel France Info. The woman’s family had filed a report. The trains used on Line 6 are more than 40 years old and drivers only have a mirror to make sure no passenger gets stuck in a door on departure, a trade unionist told the broadcaster. To clarify the course of the accident, the detectives review video recordings from the station and witness statements. Technical studies are also underway.
This week there was another serious accident in the Paris metro. On Thursday night, two drunk homeless people were run over and fatally injured, police said. Accordingly, a bag had fallen on the rails during the dispute. When they tried to get the bag back, they were run over by an oncoming train. (oee/sda/dpa)
