Dangerous track intervention: regional train brakes at the last second!

On Saturday evening there was a dangerous incident at the Stuttgart main train station, which only ended lightly by quick intervention by a driver. A 21-year-old Syrian citizen had reached the track area around 11:40 p.m. and apparently had to get to the track with the intention of reaching platform 9 shortly before a regional train arrived. This forced the train driver to brake quickly.

The engine guide noticed the man in good time and was able to prevent worse things thanks to his reaction. He not only initiated a speed brake, but also derived a warning whistle to describe the situation. Fortunately, the man was not grasped by the train. After the incident, the federal police handed over the suspect young man to a police patrol.

importance of security precautions

The federal police made it clear how important it is to comply with the safety distances on platforms. The white line, which is on platforms, serves as a marking for the safe distance from the tracks. Despite immediate braking, it can take several hundred meters for a train to standstill. These warnings are crucial to avoid such life -threatening situations.

After completing the police measures, the 21-year-old was released on foot. The events related to this incident raise questions about the safety precautions at train stations and the correct behavior in the track area. It remains to be seen how such incidents can be prevented in the future so that both travelers and rail staff are safe.
