High-speed rail resumes between Madrid and Barcelona after person hit in Alcalá de Henares

High-speed rail service linking Madrid, Zaragoza and Barcelona has resumed after a person was hit by a train in Alcalá de Henares. The incident took place at an unauthorized crossing point, causing at least a one-hour suspension. Adif confirmed normal operations restarted following emergency services intervention.

The accident occurred at an "unauthorized crossing point" in the Madrid municipality of Alcalá de Henares, as detailed by Renfe. It suspended high-speed rail operations for at least one hour, impacting multiple trains.

Long-distance trains 3152 and 6171 were halted at entry signals, while high-speed services stopped at Madrid Puerta de Atocha and Zaragoza Delicias stations.

"Normal circulation is restored after emergency services acted on the tracks," Adif reported, noting a temporary speed restriction was applied upon resumption. No further details were provided on the condition of the person struck.
