Puente describes the train accident in Toledo as "truly implausible" and rules out his resignation: "I am not thinking about myself"

A train collision in Urda, Toledo, has resulted in at least 64 fatalities and numerous injuries. Transport Minister Óscar Puente described the incident as "truly unbelievable" and suggested human error may have contributed, although he refrained from assigning blame. The accident occurred after a control system failure led to an automatic stop of trains, but the AVE was mistakenly cleared to proceed. The crash involved a high-speed train traveling at speeds potentially exceeding 200 km/h colliding with a stationary Iryo train. Puente emphasized his focus on resolving the situation rather than considering resignation after two recent train tragedies.
