Six-Year-Old Girl Loses Leg After Train Accident in Isère

The child was injured while disembarking a train when her foot became trapped, leading to an amputation above the knee.

The accident occurred on January 24, 2025, at Saint-Hilaire-du-Rosier station in Isère as the girl attempted to follow her family off a TER train.
Her foot became lodged between the train's step and the platform as the train began to move, causing severe injuries to her ankle.
She was airlifted to the Grenoble University Hospital, where doctors performed an amputation at the knee due to the extent of the damage.
Initial findings suggest the family mistakenly disembarked at the wrong station, and the train resumed motion after the conductor signaled departure.
Authorities have launched an investigation, including a technical review of the train, and issued an appeal for witnesses to help determine the circumstances of the incident.
