Elderly man was dragged for 17 seconds According to the MPRJ, José Alves Simão tried to enter the carriage and got his hand stuck in one of the train’s doors. He was dragged for 17 seconds to the station tunnel. The elderly man died before the arrival of the Fire Department. The victim suffered multiple injuries, fractures and lacerations. For the Prosecutor’s Office, the driver should have analyzed the platform to check if there were still any passengers trying to enter the carriage before departure. He was considered negligent for not observing the technical rules for analyzing the platform and closed circuit TV. Other employees did not pay due attention to all passengers, which resulted in delays in stopping the train. The MP highlighted that the prior adoption of security measures by the MetrôRio concessionaire, with the installation of protective doors between the platform gap and the train, the so-called “platform doors”, and movement sensors on the locking doors , could prevent the tragedy.
