The Nyírség InterCity train, which was traveling from Záhony to Budapest Nyugati railway station and departed from Nyíregyháza at 6:26, ran over a person between Apafa and Debrecen.
The circumstances of the accident are still unclear.
During the time of the investigation – expected until 9-10 a.m. – trains can only run on one track on this section, the travel time on the Debrecen-Nyíregyháza line may increase by 10-20 minutes. The passengers of the IC involved in the accident will be transferred from Apafa to the train heading to Debrecen at 7:14 a.m. with the help of Disaster Management staff – Mávinform informed on its social media page.
A comment was received on the post, which shows that, despite the information provided by Máv, the transfer of passengers still had not taken place at 7:45.
By 11:25 a.m., the site inspection between Apafa and Debrecen was completed, so trains are once again running on two tracks. The schedule may be restored on the Debrecen-Nyíregyháza line in the morning.
