Overview

• Josaia Raisuqe, a Fijian rugby wing for Castres Olympique, died on May 8, 2025, after his car was struck by a train at a level crossing in Saïx, Tarn.
• Initial findings from the investigation indicate that the crossing barriers were down at the time of the collision, and Raisuqe’s vehicle may have crossed them before impact.
• No injuries were reported among the train’s passengers or crew, and tests on the train driver for alcohol and drugs returned negative results.
• The Castres–Clermont Top 14 match scheduled for May 10 has been postponed to late May, with tributes planned across all rugby fixtures this weekend.
• Raisuqe, an Olympic silver medalist in rugby sevens, had played in France since 2015 and was set to join CA Brive for the 2025–26 season.
