Train accident causes disruptions on Milan-Turin line

Early Tuesday morning, a train accident in Milan left several people injured, most with minor injuries. The incident has led to significant delays and cancellations on the Milan-Turin railway line. Around 6:30 AM, a container detached from a freight train and landed on the tracks near the Greco Pirelli station. A passenger train, traveling at low speed, collided with the container and derailed. A 24-year-old man was taken to Niguarda Hospital in yellow code, alongside five passengers in green code, who sustained minor bruises. The cause of the container detachment remains unknown.
