At 5:50 a.m. on Miry Zimińskiej‑Sygietyńskiej Street in Pruszków, a train from Warsaw Wschodnia to Poznań Główny fatally struck a woman who had entered the tracks.
Initial Incident
At 5:50 a.m. the accident happened on the section of the railway line that runs along Miry Zimińskiej‑Sygietyńskiej street in Pruszków. A woman entered the tracks directly in front of the arriving train. The driver could not brake in time, and she died on the spot.
Train and Operator
The train involved was 17502/3, operated by POLREGIO, traveling the Warsaw Wschodnia – Poznań Główny route. The locomotive was stopped near the scene, which required halting traffic on one of the tracks.
Emergency Response
Police officers, supervised by a prosecutor, conducted an examination of the scene and secured evidence required for ongoing proceedings. They will investigate how the woman came onto the tracks and the events just before the collision.
Impact on Services
Blocking one track disrupted train traffic in the Pruszków area. Trains could run with delays or be temporarily halted until the work was finished and the line’s full capacity restored. Decisions on this were made by the infrastructure manager in cooperation with the operator.
Investigation and Evidence
After the prosecutor’s supervision, the woman’s body was secured for further examination, and the track was reopened to traffic. The investigation aims to establish the exact sequence of events.
