Workers involved in the development of railroad tracks on railway lines
In a shocking incident that took place in Geislingen an der Steige, a railway worker was severely injured during track construction work. The worker was struck by a train, leading to an immediate airlift to a hospital for treatment.
The incident, which occurred on the railway line between Geislingen and Amstetten (Alb-Donau district), prompted the temporary closure of the line and the nearby federal highway B10. The closures were confirmed by a federal police spokesperson, who also provided information about the airlift.
According to a subsequent report, a rescue helicopter was used to transport the injured individual, but no further details were given about the reason for landing the helicopter on the federal highway B10. The specific location of the helicopter landing was not specified in the report.
The name of the railway worker who was seriously injured has not been publicly disclosed. The nature of the individual's injuries was not specified in the report, although it is known that they were severe.
The closures of the railway line and federal highway B10 caused some disruption, but no information was provided about the impact on traffic or commuters. The good news is that both the railway line and the federal highway B10 were lifted later in the evening, allowing normal operations to resume.
This incident serves as a grim reminder of the risks involved in railway construction work. Our thoughts are with the injured worker and their family during this difficult time.
