To think people were just going about their day in Milan when this happened. The accident occurred while Milan was exceptionally busy, hosting&nbsp;<strong>International Fashion Week<\/strong>&nbsp;and having just concluded the Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are just 2 reasons possible. Either a medical emergency of the tram driver or else a technical failure with the brakes. Just before that turn into Via Lazaretto is a station where the tram should have stopped. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"377648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKdybEAAZ74M-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-377648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKdybEAAZ74M-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKdybEAAZ74M-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKdybEAAZ74M-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKdybEAAZ74M.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" data-id=\"377650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKXXbEAQjukQ-1024x575.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-377650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKXXbEAQjukQ-1024x575.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKXXbEAQjukQ-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKXXbEAQjukQ-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKXXbEAQjukQ.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"377649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKS-bEAAtl3N-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-377649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKS-bEAAtl3N-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKS-bEAAtl3N-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKS-bEAAtl3N-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCMnKS-bEAAtl3N.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It didn&#8217;t stop but instead went through with full speed and then moved into that turn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The accident occurred while Milan was exceptionally busy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":377650,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,345,190,47],"tags":[13116,19729],"class_list":["post-377545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-italy","category-light-rail","category-rail-news","tag-milan","tag-via-lazaretto"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=377545"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377545\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":377654,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377545\/revisions\/377654"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/377650"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=377545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=377545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vibewire.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=377545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
