Following the collision of 2 high-speed trains in Spain, in which 68 people were killed and dozens injured, the government of this country announced 3 days of public mourning. This incident happened on Wednesday morning in the Castilla-La Mancha region of central Spain; When a train belonging to the government company Ranfa collided with a stopped train belonging to the private company Euro. Spain's transport minister, Oscar Fuente, said the automatic control system had failed on a 69-kilometer section of the train line. He called the control center's decision to resume train traffic under these conditions "inexplicable" and said that the center has enough time to identify and correct the fault. This is the second fatal high-speed train accident in Spain this year. In January, a collision between two trains in the Andalusia region killed 46 people. The investigation of the incident is still ongoing.
