Investigators are assessing causes under heightened scrutiny following Milan’s fatal Feb. 27 derailment, which remains under criminal inquiry.

Overview

  • Two trams collided shortly before 8 a.m. on Via Prenestina at the intersection with Via Erasmo Gattamelata in Rome.
  • Ten passengers were taken to hospital, with initial reports indicating no serious conditions.
  • Rome’s V Gruppo Prenestino municipal police secured the scene, temporarily closed the tramway, and assisted the injured as medical teams carried out transfers.
  • Traffic services in the area were reinforced to manage congestion during rescue and safety operations, and investigators are reconstructing the crash dynamics.
