Accidents

On February 6, 2020 at 5:34 a.m., a Frecciarossa of the ETR 400 series derailed on its way from Milan to Salerno at the Livraga train station at almost 290 km / h. The two train drivers died and 31 passengers were injured.

During the investigation into the accident it became clear that the train was allowed to travel at the maximum speed, which is 300 km / h in this section. However, a switch that had been worked on the night before was not in the free travel position, but in the reverse position, which normally can only be driven at 60 km / h. The director of the National Agency for Railway Safety ( ANSF ) testified on February 13, 2020 that incorrect wiring of the point machine ( attuatore ), which was partially replaced during the night , could have incorrectly signaled that the point was set for the maximum speed of 300 km / h. Therefore, the switch manufacturer Alstom will also be included in the investigation.
