Montoro

Montoro is a town in Córdoba, Spain, where a devastating train accident occurred on January 18, 2026, resulting in the deaths of 46 people. The investigation, led by the Guardia Civil, has found that the rail damage occurred a day before the crash, but the system was not prepared to detect it. Recent developments include a report from Redalsa, the company that inspected the soldaduras (welds) on the damaged section, and a request from the CIAF for access to the remains of the trains. The investigation is ongoing, with the juez de Montoro ordering further explanations from Adif regarding the replacement of 36 meters of rail. The incident has sparked controversy, with the president of Adif calling the accusations of hiding evidence an 'infamia'.
