Death toll from high-speed train collision in Spain rises to 69: automation failure and dispatcher's decision under investigation
A deadly collision between Renfe AVE and Iryo trains near Urdá in the province of Toledo has killed 69 people. The transport minister blamed a failure of the LZB system and the dispatcher's subsequent 'inexplicable' decision. Three days of national mourning have been declared, Renfe drivers held a strike, and the investigation continues.
