The driver of the Iryo train in Urda tried to unlock her train twice unsuccessfully and sought advice from her company before the collision

The Iryo train driver attempted to restart the safety system twice before a collision with a Renfe AVE train. Despite following protocol and contacting both Adif and her company for assistance, the driver was unable to resume movement. The LZB safety system failure left the Iryo train immobilized, while the AVE train approached at high speed. Confusion ensued as Adif's control center mistakenly reported the Iryo train as moving. Ultimately, the collision occurred, resulting in numerous fatalities. Investigations will focus on the communications and actions taken by the driver and control centers during the incident.
