The Alvia 197 train that left Badajoz this morning at 07:25 to Madrid has suffered a "slight impact" with a car at a level crossing prior to the town of Navalmoral de la Mata in Cáceres, which has caused the transfer in bus of 142 passengers to its destination.
The event occurred when "a vehicle has crossed despite the arrival of the train at that point." The driver of the Alvia "has managed to brake but in the end he has had a slight reach with the car", according to the Renfe sources.
In addition, they point out that neither the occupants of the vehicle nor the passengers in the convoy have registered damage of any kind, but the train, which has not suffered any damage either, has been waiting "for about an hour for the arrival of the Civil Guard to pick up a crowded from what has occured".
This is one more chapter in the numerous accidents that the railway connection between Extremadura and the capital of Spain has suffered. A train line on which several derailments, fires and breakdowns have taken place in recent years, which the AVE does not reach and which has not been renovated since the 19th century.
