Carmona made these statements during an interview on RAC1, where he corroborated that the crash of the R4 line train was caused by a landslide due to water accumulation following Storm Harry's passage through Catalonia.
“"The Spanish railway system is safe, and we should not question the safety of the transport networks."
The representative argued that the collision was "undetectable," as the wall fell onto the track without the public company being able to detect it in time. Consequently, Adif technicians are inspecting the entire network for additional damage caused by the storm.
These infrastructure examinations are "daily," according to Carmona, and are intended to guarantee track safety. The executive also commented on the strike called by the train drivers' union Semaf, assuring that safety is the goal of both Adif and Renfe.
The accident, which occurred between Gelida and Subirats, resulted in the death of a 28-year-old trainee driver and 37 injuries, none of which are life-threatening, according to the latest reports.
