Spain's Transport Minister Óscar Puente Resigns Six Days After Urda Train Crash Killed 69

Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente resigned on Tuesday, six days after a high-speed train collision near Urda killed 69 people. He also withdrew from the upcoming general election. Puente said a transport minister cannot continue in office after two accidents of this severity in less than a year, referring to a January derailment in Andalusia that killed 46.
