Person hit and trapped by S-Bahn at Stuttgart main station

A person was hit by an incoming S-Bahn at Stuttgart Central Station and was trapped between the train and the edge of the platform. According to initial findings, the federal police assume an accident occurred on Saturday. Accordingly, the person had previously fallen on the platform. There was no information about his state of health the day after the accident.

Due to the emergency medical intervention, the S-Bahn main line between Stuttgart main station and Stuttgart-Vaihingen was only accessible to a limited extent for around an hour on Saturday. Track 102 in the underground station was closed. The route was reopened in the afternoon.

According to the railway, there were occasional cancellations and diversions. Even after the emergency medical mission ended and the route was opened, travelers still had to expect delays, individual cancellations and timetable changes. Passengers were asked to inform themselves before starting their journey.

Local public transport is heavily used because of the folk festival on the Cannstatter Wasen and a large demonstration.
