Both train drivers — one a veteran, one an apprentice — died in the crash. The Atocha control center operator who gave the fatal authorization has refused to testify before the Civil Guard. A strike by Ouigo drivers compounded travel disruptions at Atocha station, affecting roughly 20,000 passengers. Fourteen foreign nationals from ten countries appear on the missing-persons list.
