Spain Train Crash: 68 Dead As Second Rail Disaster Raises Safety Concerns

Spain is facing fresh questions over rail safety after a high-speed train collision killed 68 people, marking the country’s second deadly rail disaster this year. Transport Minister Óscar Puente said a computer malfunction disrupted the rail security system, after which a central command centre reportedly instructed a RENFE train to resume movement without speed restrictions. Authorities have launched an investigation as rescue teams work to recover victims and assess the damage. The government has declared three days of national mourning.
