Spanish transport minister resigns days after deadly train crash

Spain's Transport Minister Óscar Puente has stepped down following a train collision that resulted in 69 fatalities. His resignation comes after he addressed Congress about the incident near Urda, which involved a Renfe high-speed train colliding with a stationary Iryo train. Puente stated that it was unacceptable for a transport minister to remain in office after two serious accidents within a year, referencing a previous deadly crash in January in Andalusia.
