This morning, around 11:00, witnesses who were passing by the TRAM at the intersection between Diana and Joan Fuster streets witnessed how the tram ran over a pedestrian, leaving the person seriously injured next to the tracks of the newly opened public transport. She has had to be transferred urgently to the Hospital to attend to her injuries considered serious, as confirmed by the City Council.
It is about a 67-year-old man, who was crossing the tracks when the tram ran over him in the direction of the Dénia station. Initially, the victim has lost consciousness and has been lying on the ground. However, once the health services have arrived at the scene and the SAMU has provided the first care, he has regained consciousness. According to emergency services, the man had a head injury.
The accident has also caused long retentions at the scene while the injured person was attended and the authorities clarified what caused the accident.
An urban tram runs on a railway located along the roads of a town. It is the same in every city in Europe and UK that has trams. Barriers have been mentioned, but are barriers placed between the footways and carriageways of streets without trams? Citizens learn to listen and look both ways for traffic before crossing; This is for both a vehicle on rails and one off rails. Accidents happen these days with increasing frequency due to people concentrating on their hand-held device rather than on the traffic. If they get killed it is their own fault. However, hopefully, this gentleman will recover without too much permanent injury. .
Maybe you don't know this is the same train Denia had previously, years ago. Same train, same trail, but no barriers.
fyi a railway connect urban locations, not different towns.
fyi a *tram* connect urban locations, not different towns.
Hi,
L homme a repris conciencia avant l arrivée des secours. J étais sur place et j ai fait une pression sur la tête à cet homme.
Il avait un trou.
J espère qu il va mieux.
Quelle frayeur!!!
Fashions attention.
This outrage was intentional.
The driver is from Vox and the victim is a Communist.
From Democratic Crusade we ask for the dismissal of this "worker."
I am not a technician in this security matter; but it seems to me that it is a little scarce and blurred. if you don't have sharp enough eyesight, you may get lost.
Surely the technicians will find a solution. Possibly a small luminous and acoustic beacon, with hidden wiring in the rectangular tubes of the fence, which runs through the entire itinerary or what is deemed necessary, and which, through an appropriate mechanism, emits permanent proximity signals well in advance of the crossings. pedestrians and turn off once the tram has passed. More or less.
In short, as I said before I have no experience. They can laugh, nothing happens.. But I'm sure they'll fix it.
Good afternoon.
Let's see, it is not that the reform is very well done, but the tram is not small, there are metal barriers, traffic lights and it is known that it circulates there…. you have to look first before passing.
In other places they have said that he was distracted...
I was here to help the man, make a pressure.
He didn't see the train.
You're already right, since we've been without a train for 6 years, it's normal for people to be used to passing by without looking. That's why he was still distracted.
botched ??? It will be the first tram that crosses a city, I understand that if the signals, traffic lights, etc. are respected, we will do better...
Trolley car:
The tram is a means of passenger transport that circulates on rails and on the surface in urban areas, on the streets themselves, often without separation from the rest of the circulation, without a track or path or reserved sector.
Difference:
In Denia there is a train without barriers.
Another great success of the progressive socialists of Antonio and Tito Berni's party, 4 hours to go to Alicante, an aesthetic disaster and on top of that with outrages. Congratulations to those who support the friends of Oltra, ximo and etc.
See how it happened to Gaudí, the great architect of Modernism. A shame.
The first of an endless list of accidents, the product of an infamous botch of 150 years ago.
Totally agree
They are criminals.
Before there were barriers. Now they remove them. Cheaper. It was seen coming. It was something discussed.
A worthy work would be to bury or elevate. Perhaps those currents of humanistic thought have not yet arrived in Denia.
In many much more populated cities in the world there are not just one, but hundreds of trams that run at all hours!!! And most share space with other vehicles and pedestrians…. Whose mistake was it in this case???
Paloma, excuse me, read what a tram is, if you understand it you will realize that Denia has a train, the same as before, but now without barriers. Confusion is normal, so saying tram is like repeating a lie many times, really, I suggest you read on wikipedia what tram means, and what train means.
It must be difficult for some to come to this conclusion, it's not your fault. all the best.
So educated that you look, speaking of many cities in the world that are much more populated, you will realize the nonsense you are saying hehehee, you have no idea what a train and a tram are, it is like confusing a quad and a car. To know so much about the world and give lessons from much more populated cities, you have no fucking idea of what a tram is and what a train is. And surely you have not left Denia in the last 30 years. By the way, it seems that you are happy with your tram, you should use it to go to Alicante every day, apparently with what you like about your "tram" hehehehe.
Well look, because of people like that what happens to us happens to us. Regards, dove.
