Spain Transport Minister Resigns After Fatal Train Collision

Spain's Transport Minister Óscar Puente resigned following a high-speed train collision near Urda that killed at least 69 people and injured dozens.

Puente announced his decision in Congress on Tuesday after outlining new rail safety measures and facing heavy pressure from opposition parties and government allies.

The disaster involved a Renfe passenger train and a stationary Iryo train, with preliminary audio records indicating conflicting clearance signals.
