The first technical report on the Urda train accident indicates that the AVE was traveling between 160 and 200 km/h at the time of the collision. The exact speed will be confirmed after analyzing the train's black boxes. The AVE collided with a stationary Iryo train, resulting in at least 69 fatalities. The investigation, led by the Independent Authority for Technical Accident Investigation (AITAT), began shortly after the incident. A team of investigators is on-site, collecting information and documentation. The report emphasizes that all hypotheses regarding the causes of the accident remain open as investigations are still in the initial phase. The collision caused significant damage, with the AVE's front car embedded in the rear of the Iryo, leading to both trains derailing.
