The last report of the Civil Guard on the tragic railway accident in Adamuz, reported by this miracle, sheds definitive light on the causes of one of the greatest railway tragedies in the history of Spain.
Investigators confirmed that the truck crashed at exactly 9:46 p.m. on Saturday, January 17, a full day before the accident.
At 10 p.m., the infrastructure was broken while the trains traveled at high speed past the critical point, ultimately costing the lives of 46 people.
This conclusion of the Civil Guard fully coincides with the main hypothesis implemented from the beginning by the Comisión de Investigación de Accidentes Ferroviarios (CIAF). There is complete technical harmony between the two organisms.
Combining these two independent assessments allows us to confirm that the failure was caused by a structural failure in the road and not external factors. And the strength of these pruebas It makes it possible to discard any other theory in definitive form.
There is no human error on the part of the machinists that the execution was correct, no signs of sabotage or third party intervention.
The line of inquiry now resides entirely in a defective aluminum structure made of incompatible materials and conducted under the supervision of official inspectors.
The use of the wrong technical kit at 318 kilometers is a material cause of the chain of negligence in keeping red. It is assumed that the fracture cannot generate an alert because the signaling systems are not configured with sufficient sensitivity to detect it.
Oh wait, the government tried to re-edit for Adamuze purposes the same crisis management manual that applies to the entire large area the past year. A consistent strategy over time suggests external causes and allows the problem to be diluted in technical bureaucracy until societal concern fades.
And there were probably not many Spaniards who objected that even on this occasion the government was well equipped to ensure that no one could ever with certainty conceal the origin of the foul and its culprits.
However, after a year, informational opacity made it possible to resolve political responsibilities, in the case of Adamuz This forgetting strategy hit an insurmountable wall for those tested.
We know the cause of the accident. Among other things, because President Adif tacitly acknowledged this Tuesday before the Association of Victims to admit that Spain has a specific system that detects bicycle traffic in real time.
The actual protocols preferred to avoid delays before alerts of the electrical anomalies the system registered during those 22 hours of silence. The road was in poor condition, maintenance had failed and safety checks were inadequate.
Before this scenario the responsibility of the actors involved is inevitable.
The People’s Party logically demanded an immediate question from the minister Oscar Puentewhich classifies infrastructure management as continuing negligence.
The Council of Andalusia reacted with institutional rigor to the announcement that its legal services were studying to get involved in the case to defend the interests of the affected Andalusians. Autonomous administration is as simple as it should be Don’t let an accident of this magnitude result in a legal response.
Óscar Puente holds all the keys of the night on the table of that fateful January 18, 2026 in Córdoba. You know the train ended due to a number of technical glitches and management decisions that should never have happened.
Once the technical unknown is over, just politics: who will pay for it
