Fracture on the Rails: New Theory in Spain's Deadly Train Crash

A preliminary report suggests a damaged rail may have caused Spain's high-speed train disaster. The crash killed 45 people and injured dozens more. Investigators are examining a key theory. They believe a fracture might have existed on the track before the accident. One train may have passed over this damaged section and derailed. The derailed train, operated by the private company Iryo, then collided with an oncoming high-speed train. That second train was run by the state rail company, Renfe. The collision happened on Sunday near the town of Adamuz in the Andalusia region.
