Train strikes person near Rájce-Jestřebí, service halted for nearly four hours

A train hit a person on line 260 near the Rájce-Jestřebí crossing, killing the victim and suspending traffic for almost four hours while police investigate.

Police are probing a fatal collision that occurred shortly after 06:00 on line 260 near the Rájce-Jestřebí level crossing. The incident forced a temporary shutdown of the track for less than four hours, after which trains resumed at reduced speed and faced delays of up to thirty minutes. České dráhy deployed replacement buses between Blansko and Rájce-Jestřebí and rerouted several services, including some fast trains between Česká Třebová and Břeclav and between Brno and Kolín.
