Original
The incident did not result in any injuries and no other railway infrastructure was damaged, as reported by the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn (MGBahn) media office at the request of the Keystone-SDA news agency. The affected train subsequently reached Zermatt a few minutes late.
According to the information on the MGBahn website, the rockfall occurred at around 9:30 am. A replacement bus service was set up on the route. Due to the limited capacity, there were longer than usual wait times, according to the MGBahn.
