Spanish train driver and a former traffic safety chief at national rail infrastructure operator ADIF were convicted on Friday to 2.5 years in prison over a train disaster that killed 79 people 11 years ago.
In Spain’s worst rail accident of decades, an eight-carriage, high-speed Alvia 04155 train veered off the track on a sharp bend near the northwestern city of Santiago de Compostela, dashed into a concrete wall and burst into flames. Another 143 people were injured in the 2013 crash.
