Station master arrested after dozens killed in Greece train crash



On the morning of July 24th, 2020, a horrific train crash occurred in the Greek city of Adendro, killing dozens of people and injuring many more. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, but authorities have arrested the station master in connection with the incident. This tragedy has left many people in shock and mourning as they try to make sense of what happened.

The train was travelling from Athens to Thessaloniki when it derailed near Adendro station at around 11:30am local time. According to reports, the train was travelling at a high speed when it suddenly derailed and crashed into a nearby building. The impact was so severe that several carriages were completely destroyed and some were thrown off the tracks.

The death toll from this tragedy is currently estimated to be around 30 people, with many more injured. Rescue teams are still searching for survivors among the wreckage and debris.

In response to this tragedy, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has declared three days of national mourning and has promised an investigation into what caused the crash. He also expressed his condolences to those affected by this tragedy and said that “all necessary measures will be taken” to ensure that such an incident never happens again.

Authorities have now arrested the station master in connection with this incident. It is believed that he failed to properly check whether or not there were any obstacles on the tracks before allowing the train to pass through Adendro station at high speed. If found guilty, he could face up to 10 years in prison for his negligence.

This tragic event has left many people in Greece feeling shocked and saddened by what happened. It is yet another reminder of how important it is for railway operators to take all necessary safety precautions when operating trains on their networks.

The Greek government has promised a thorough investigation into this incident and has vowed that those responsible will be held accountable for their actions. In addition, they have also announced plans for increased safety measures on all railway networks across Greece in order to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in future.

This terrible accident serves as a stark reminder of how fragile life can be and how quickly things can go wrong if proper safety protocols are not followed by railway operators or station masters alike. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this tragedy as they try to come to terms with what happened on July 24th 2020 in Adendro, Greece
