BUENOS AIRES – A complete turn in the investigation of the Sarmiento train derailment happened last Tuesday at the Liniers station. The Justice confirmed that the motorman who led the formation is free from all suspicion of neglect or substance abuse.
The “Clean” Motorman
Judicial sources confirmed to Live Click that the alcohol and toxicological tests carried out on the driver of the formation gave negatives. This eliminates the main line of investigation focused on possible human failure on the part of the worker.
The motorman, who was one of the first to collaborate with the investigation led by the judge Julian Ercoliniis disassociated from any direct responsibility for the accident.
Failure on the Road? The Research Focus
With the driver’s innocence confirmed, the experts’ gaze is now focused on the track change system in the sector where the accident occurred, around 3:50 p.m.
- Key Data: Reports indicate that the track change system box remained closed and without external intervention. Additionally, the mechanism features a “bolt and lever lock” system, designed precisely to prevent that the track be modified with the train in motion.
- The accident, which left around 20 passengers injured with mild to moderate multiple trauma, it originated in a derailment, and not in a collision.
Now, the investigation will focus on determining if there was a mechanical or technical failure in the signaling and rail changing system, or if there is third-party responsibility in its maintenance or external manipulation.
