The tragedy occurred as traffic was in full swing on this crossover Sunday. A construction worker died at the end of the afternoon following a landslide in the area of the Massy-Palaiseau station, in Essonne, said the prosecutor of Evry. TGV Atlantique traffic was stopped “as a precaution” following this “slippage”, added prosecutor Caroline Nisand, unable for the time being to give further details. The traffic of trains passing through this station has been interrupted since 5.30 p.m.
The Essonne firefighters indicated on Twitter that they were working in Massy “for structural collapse at the SNCF-TGV station”. It is a collapse on a drilling site, they said.
