A rail collision in Spain that claimed at least 68 lives occurred after a train was mistakenly ordered to proceed despite a technical failure that halted all services, the transport minister confirmed.
The first findings about the accident in the central region of Castilla-La Mancha are likely to revive questions about rail safety in Spain after another high-speed collision in January killed 46 people.
Safety concerns
The transport minister's revelation that the train was ordered to go in "error" despite technical failures has sparked immediate calls for a thorough review of Spain's rail safety protocols and emergency procedures.
