A refrigerator was abandoned on the Circumvesuviana tracks and a moving train hit it head-on yesterday evening in the level crossing area of Via Crapolla, in Pompeii.
Some damage to the convoy and a lot of fear on board, fortunately no injuries were reported. It is not the first episode of this kind, last February 20th a bathtub was left along the train route - in the same and identical point.
The president of the Ente Autonomo Volturno Umberto De Gregorio was furious: «It's not about vandalism or pranks, but about criminals, saboteurs, terrorists . I hope that the police catch them and throw them in jail."
Apparently the driver only noticed the appliance abandoned along the route at the last moment and tried to brake, but was unable to avoid the impact.
«After the bathtub and New Jersey, it's time for the refrigerator. Always in the same point", reports Umberto De Gregorio .
And the company decided to take action, with a permanent security guard and by installing cameras positioned at the point of the near tragedy.
