The incident occurred at 15:15 in an area where pedestrian crossing is prohibited. Renfe arranged an alternative plan to transfer affected passengers by bus between the stations Callosa de Segura and Orihuela Miguel Hernández.
Investigation
Civil Guard officers led the inquiry, and initial information indicated the victim was often used as a shortcut. Sources close to the event noted a gap in the protective fencing. The driver, who could not avoid the collision, tested negative for alcohol and drugs during the assessment conducted by security authorities after the crash.
In the fatal collision, the train involved was stopped at the scene, and Renfe moved forward with a bus shuttle to Orihuela station for the passengers. The accident also disrupted another suburban service on the same Murcia to Alicante line, and Renfe coordinated continued transport by bus from Orihuela station to Callosa de Segura station so travelers could complete their journeys.
Following the judicial commission’s approval for the removal of the victim and after the Civil Guard completed the on-site inspection, traffic resumed normally at 17:36. The mayor of Callosa de Segura, Manuel Martínez Sirvent, arrived at the scene to assess the situation and gather information on the incident.
