The Civil Guard investigates the circumstances in which the human error of the Urda accident occurred

The investigation into the Urda train accident, which resulted in at least 69 fatalities, is still in its early stages. Authorities are focusing on a potential human error, particularly regarding a decision made by a control center operator to allow an AVE train to proceed despite another train being stopped on the same track. The Guardia Civil is collaborating with the Independent Technical Accident Investigation Authority to determine the causes and responsibilities. Key aspects under investigation include a reported "computer failure" in the safety system, communication between train operators and the control center, and the actions taken by the involved train crews. The analysis of black boxes and control center recordings will be crucial in reconstructing the sequence of events leading to the collision.
