A vehicle has fallen onto the train tracks of the R4 line in Sabadell, causing a one-hour disruption to services between Cerdanyola and Terrassa-Estació del Nord.

Firefighters received a call at 9:42 AM about a car that had plunged onto the train tracks on Carrer Moragas i Barret in Sabadell. The vehicle, carrying four people, fell after colliding with the protective fence separating the street from the railway.
The car fell approximately 4 meters and overturned. All four occupants managed to exit the vehicle on their own, except for one who sustained more serious injuries. Firefighters transported this individual to the station, about 300 meters from the accident site, where Emergency Medical System (SEM) teams provided treatment.
A train traveling on the same track stopped in time, avoiding a direct impact with the car and thus preventing more severe consequences. Firefighters requested the suspension of train services to attend to the injured and remove the vehicle.
The vehicle has since been removed from the tracks and train services have been restored. However, Renfe is maintaining an alternative bus service between Cerdanyola and Terrassa-Estació del Nord with intermediate stops, as trains gradually resume their normal frequencies. Five fire crews were involved in the operation, and Civil Protection activated the Ferrocat plan's pre-alert.
