In a recent railway accident in Florence involving GTS SpA, the company's CEO, Alessio Muciaccia, has expressed relief that no people were involved in the incident. Train GTS 57034, en route from Nola Interporto to Milan Segrate, experienced a diversion of part of the third wagon in its composition at Firenze Castello.

"Our first concern was obviously for the possible involvement of people; this was not the case, and it is the most important thing," says Alessio Muciaccia, CEO of GTS SpA. Train GTS 57034 had departed from Nola Interporto and was bound for Milan Segrate. GTS Rail was pulling a moult of wagons, and the company states that the diverted one is not its property.

Furthermore, GTS is not responsible for the maintenance of the wagon. On the arrival route at Firenze Castello at around 02:20, a part of the third wagon in the composition was diverted (the wagon consists of two half-cars). "It is difficult to define the causes," Muciaccia specifies, "at present, we can hypothesise structural damage to the wagon or a problem with the infrastructure. A crate with various non-hazardous materials was travelling on the diverted semi-truck. The crate is damaged, but there is no spillage."
