Spain's king and queen attended a state memorial service on Tuesday for the 69 people killed in a collision near Toledo two weeks ago. The crash, one of Spain's deadliest rail incidents in recent years, has prompted renewed scrutiny of the country's rail safety standards and maintenance protocols.
Twenty-eight people remain hospitalised with injuries ranging from moderate to severe. Spanish rail authorities have launched a formal investigation into the causes of the collision, with preliminary findings expected within weeks.
