A construction worker died Sunday afternoon following a landslide in the area of the Massy-Palaiseau station (Essonne), which caused the interruption of SNCF traffic, told AFP the prosecutor of Evry.
TGV Atlantique traffic was stopped
"as a precaution"
following this
"slippage"
, added prosecutor Caroline Nisand, unable for the time being to give further details.
The site accident occurred
