Overview
- Emergency crews from SAME confirmed a man was struck by a Line A train at Río de Janeiro station and found with injuries incompatible with life.
- Emova, the subte operator, activated all on-scene protocols and its staff worked with Policía de la Ciudad and judicial teams to secure and examine the site.
- The station was evacuated and initially forced Line A to run a limited service between Plaza de Mayo and Loria before service was restored end-to-end.
- Although trains resumed full-route operation, services continue not to stop at Río de Janeiro while forensic pericias and a judicial investigation determine how the incident occurred and identify the victim.
- Local reporting noted the accident has added to heightened attention on transit safety after a separate fatal traffic incident was reported recently, and passengers should expect continued delays on connecting routes as investigations proceed.
