Animal-related transport disruptions in Italy

Overview

In early July, runaway horses were reported to have caused traffic disruptions on Italian roads. By early August, the problem shifted to the rail network near Rome, where a herd of cows struck train tracks, leading to a derailment and the suspension of services on the Orte‑Rome line. Passengers were safely transferred to replacement buses and alternate trains, and authorities began investigations to determine the owners of the animals involved.
