Overview

- The Toulouse prosecutor’s office says the case is under judicial instruction, with national police and the labor inspectorate assigned to the investigation.
- Transport operator Tisséo reported no other injuries and has set up psychological support for personnel affected by the incident.
- This is the second fatal accident on the project in 21 months, following a March 2024 viaduct collapse in Labège that left one dead and three injured.
- Line C has faced prior structural problems and governance issues, including June 2025 subsidence linked to tunneling and a €200,000 fine against Tisséo for favoritism, though the opening is still targeted for 2028.
