A tragedy was narrowly avoided this morning at the Donori level crossing.
A tractor, for reasons yet to be ascertained, remained stuck on the tracks while a convoy was approaching that was traveling on the Gottardo-Mandas route. The man driving was unable to continue the journey but, after getting out, alerted the emergency services.
The driver of the oncoming train was immediately notified, and he had time to slow down. The violent crash was avoided: the train at the end of the long braking, only “rested” on the tractor, hugging it for a few meters. No injuries were reported.
The Carabinieri of Dolianova and the local police officers of Parteolla intervened on site.
