The cause of the accident: the first hypotheses
According to a first reconstruction, the driver of the second train would have lost control of the train and, for reasons yet to be clarified, would have buffered the train that preceded him in the station. A third convoy would then hit the two already damaged. It has not yet been possible to reconstruct the dynamics more precisely, nor identify the objective causes of the clash. At first it was hypothesized that the failure to comply with a stop signal originated the rear-end collision, but the news has not yet been confirmed.
