The collision is one of Europe’s deadliest rail disasters in recent years and Spain’s second fatal train crash of 2026. Authorities have pointed to possible signaling-system failures, while critics are questioning whether maintenance problems also contributed. Several injured passengers remain in critical condition, and investigators are working to establish the precise sequence of events.
