Probe into Spain train crash turns to missing ‘bogie’ found in stream

Investigators in Spain are examining a large piece of metal found near the site of a high-speed train crash that killed at least 42 people on Sunday near Adamuz. The metal piece, discovered in a stream roughly 300 meters from the crash site, is suspected to be a missing "bogie," the wheeled undercarriage of the train. The Spanish railway accident investigating body (CIAF) has identified the bogie as a critical component in determining the cause of the derailment, as it is the key point of contact between the train and the tracks. Authorities are analyzing the component to confirm its identity and determine its role in the accident, which involved a train operated by the private consortium Iryo. Due to its size and weight, the piece remains in the stream where it was found.
