Overview
- Spain’s accident board (CIAF) reports the Iryo showed the first derailment signs and the Alvia’s recorder stopped at 204 km/h, defining a roughly 15-second chain of events that included an automatic LZB emergency brake on the Alvia.
- The recorder data and Iryo’s onboard CCTV were extracted on March 5 and analyzed March 9–10, with CIAF stressing these are preliminary findings pending its final report.
- Judge Cristina Pastor gave three civil engineers 72 hours to accept appointment and submit budgets for a judicial peritaje intended to complement CIAF and Guardia Civil work.
- Guardia Civil documented two seized metal fragments from the nearby La Loma del Partidor tunnel and the judge ordered contradictions flagged in ADIF’s documents to be added to the case file.
- ADIF asked the court to clarify limits on site works and requested authorization for up to nine maintenance interventions, while the Junta de Andalucía moved to join the case and set up a victims’ commissioner.
