Istanbul metro incident<\/a> caused a temporary disruption on the M4 Kad\u0131k\u00f6y\u2013Sabiha G\u00f6k\u00e7en Airport line near Bostanc\u0131 station on Wednesday evening, with passengers evacuated after a technical malfunction in the tunnel. Authorities confirmed that the train slowed down and no derailment or overturn occurred during the event.<\/p>\n

The Istanbul metro incident took place during rush hour on June 18, 2026, when passengers reported a sudden jolt before the train came to a stop underground. Initial reports pointed to a switch malfunction as the likely cause. Emergency teams from Metro Istanbul arrived quickly and began evacuation procedures inside the tunnel.<\/p>\n

Three passengers were injured and transferred to hospitals for treatment. Other passengers were guided on foot through the tunnel to a safe exit point. Metro Istanbul suspended service on the affected section while technical crews inspected the track and repaired the faulty switch.<\/p>\n

Metro Istanbul later confirmed that operations on the M4 line resumed after safety checks were completed. Officials stated that emergency protocols worked as intended and likely prevented a more serious outcome by slowing the train before the incident escalated. A formal investigation has been launched to determine the exact cause of the switch failure and whether maintenance factors played a role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
