The drivers denounce the custody of one of their colleagues, implicated in the death of a woman stuck in the doors of a metro last Saturday.

Line 6, which connects Nation to Charles-de-Gaulle Étoile, has been stopped this Friday morning since 5:45 a.m. Traffic on line 9 is also disrupted and has just been restored to lines 5 and 7. In a tweet, the RATP reports that drivers are exercising their right of withdrawal, after the call from the FO RATP union the day before.

The employees denounce the custody of a driver of line 6, involved in the fatal accident last Saturday. According to a source close to the case, the driver’s custody is for manslaughter. A woman in her forties died last Saturday at Bel-Air station on line 6 of the Paris metro, caught by a train after her jacket got stuck in the automatic doors.

This Friday, the driver will go before a judge. “The traction pole of FO-RATP drivers’ union cannot tolerate that our colleague who has done his job, be treated like a criminal and that he spends the night at the depot“, underlines FO RATP in its press release.

An investigation was opened and entrusted to the police station of the 12th arrondissement of Paris. On the night of Wednesday to Thursday, a homeless man and woman died after being hit by a metro train in Paris. For these two deaths, the Paris prosecutor’s office said it had opened an investigation “in search of the causes of death, entrusted to the police station of the 14th arrondissement».
