A person, probably a migrant, who was trying to reach the state border with France on the roof of the locomotive of a Société nationale des Chemins de fer français (Snfc) train was struck by the proximity to the 3 thousand volts of power.
The train stopped in the tunnel, in Ventimiglia, a handful of kilometers from Menton-Garavan.
Rfi technicians, firefighters, scientific police and Italian railway police are on site.
The man is lifeless but the coroner has not yet ascertained the death.
