A freight train that made the journey between Can Tunis and the Port of Barcelona derailed this Thursday in the Free Trade Zone. The accident occurred after half past eleven in the morning when a car in the convoy left the track. The accident has not caused any injuries, but has forced exit 18-A of the Litoral ring road to be cut off, near L'Hospitalet de Llobregat to enter the Catalan capital, causing traffic jams in the area.
The notice that the train had derailed was alerted around 11:25, as indicated by Civil Protection. Due to the incident, there are up to a kilometer and a half of traffic jams on the B-10 and another kilometer on the A2 motorway in Cornellà.
Five fire crews, as well as members of the Urban Guard, traveled to the point. Adif technicians have also traveled to the point to offer support and help route the train.
Due to the derailment, Civil Protection has activated the Ferrocat plan in the alert phase for more than an hour.
