Driver in Spanish rail crash charged
The driver involved in Spain’s worst rail disaster in 70 years which killed 79 people has been provisionally charged with multiple cases of reckless homicide.
Francisco Jose Garzon Amo has been released but has surrendered his passport to a judge and must appear before court once a week, a court statement said.
He is suspected of driving too fast on a bend.
Spanish newspaper El Pais said Mr Garzon had admitted to "recklessness" in court.
More than 140 others – including one Briton – were injured when the train derailed in the Galicia region in the country’s northwest, just outside Santiago de Compestela, last week, see previous story.
