Spain's Transport Minister Resigns Following Deadly High-Speed Train Crash
Spain's Transport Minister Óscar Puente resigned six days after a high-speed train collision south of Madrid killed 69 people, marking the second deadly crash on the Madrid-Seville line this year. The accident occurred after a communication system failure led central controllers to allow a train to proceed despite a stationary train ahead. The government plans to introduce safety measures, including speed limits and faster implementation of European rail signaling systems, while also approving aid for victims ahead of the November 29 election.
