He also thanked the rescue teams and expressed his condolences to the victims and their families.

Puente stated in a media briefing that the first train that derailed is only a few years old.

He emphasized that the track where the accident occurred was renovated in May 2025, with an investment of €700 million.

Óscar Puente has established a Commission to investigate the accident.

Serbian media point out that in Spain, there will be no narrative about “corruption kills,” no fists, no demands for ministers or the government to resign, and no calls for the king to abdicate.

 

The accident occurred around 7:45 PM in the town of Adamuz, in the autonomous region of Andalusia, when a train traveling from Málaga to Madrid derailed and ended up on an adjacent track, where a train from Madrid to Huelva was passing at the time. Due to this contact, the second train also derailed.
