LARISSA: The station master of Larissa, the central Greek city, was arrested, police said on Wednesday, hours after a collision between two trains leaving at least 36 dead.
A local police spokesman said that the 59-year-old station master was arrested. He said that the charges against the station master would be announced shortly.
Investigation into Greek train crash
Greece’s supreme court prosecutor had earlier ordered an investigation, with government spokesman Yiannis Economou saying that the two trains were left running on the same track for “many kilometers.”
Greek railway operator Trainose was acquired by Italy’s Ferrovie Dello Stato Italiane in 2017.
