A preliminary report indicates that the AVE train collided with the Iryo at speeds between 160 and 200 km/h, resulting in severe damage and derailment. The AITAT has recovered the black boxes from both trains and is investigating the incident, which occurred after a system failure led to a change in train signaling. The collision caused the lead car of the AVE to become lodged in the rear car of the Iryo, with multiple cars derailing and falling off the embankment. AITAT's investigation includes gathering information and documentation, as well as reviewing communications prior to the crash. The team has faced challenges accessing some data due to the condition of the wreckage.
