Spanish Train Disaster Came After Train Ordered to Go in Error: Minister
Investigators are examining signalling and control-room failures after the crash, which left 58 others hospitalized, officials said.
- Two trains collided near Madrid on Wednesday morning, killing at least 68 people and injuring 58, according to emergency services in one of Europe's deadliest rail disasters this century.
- Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente said an official in the national railway control center in Madrid 'inexplicably' instructed one high-speed train to proceed along a track where another had stalled.
- Despite the January Adamuz accident that killed 46 people, Puente defended the system, stating, 'We have a safe rail system, comparable to those of other countries in our region.'
- Far-Right Vox leader Santiago Abascal slammed the government, writing, 'I will not rest until this government, which is a criminal organization, is in the dock answering for its crimes.'
- An anonymous Socialist Party lawmaker said the tragedy 'inevitably upends the campaign and deals a blow to Sánchez,' noting the opposition will leverage it as they did the Adamuz accident.
