Matteo Salvini, the deputy prime minister and minister of transport, acknowledged the injuries were mild and stated he was monitoring the situation.

He claimed he was looking for quick answers on what transpired and possible accountability.

Three months prior, on August 31, during nocturnal maintenance on the Milan-Turin line, a train struck and killed five railway workers.

The last fatal train disaster in Italy happened in 2020 when a train at Lodi, south of Milan, derailed before dawn, killing two rail personnel and injuring thirty-one passengers.

And in January 2018, an overcrowded train near Milan crashed, killing three ladies and injuring around a hundred others. The disaster was attributed to inadequate track maintenance.
