A car in danger on train tracks in Fuenlabrada after falling from a bridge.

A car fell from a bridge onto the commuter train tracks in Fuenlabrada this Saturday, temporarily halting traffic on the C5 line between Leganés and Humanes.

The incident occurred around 11:00 AM on Grecia street. The driver, the sole occupant of the vehicle, managed to exit on their own. They received attention from SUMMA 112 and were subsequently transferred to the 12 de Octubre University Hospital.
Madrid Community Firefighters carried out a complex maneuver to remove the car from the tracks, ensuring the railway infrastructure's safety. During the operation, a commuter train waiting at the entrance to Fuenlabrada had to be evacuated by its passengers.
The C5 line's service was restored approximately an hour and a half after the vehicle was removed, although average delays of about 12 minutes were reported.
Fuenlabrada Local Police have launched an investigation to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident.
