The driver of a train that derailed in Spain killing 78 people has been accused of “reckless manslaughter”, the interior minister has said.
Jorge Fernandez Diaz said Francisco Jose Garzon Amo, who was slightly hurt in Wednesday’s accident, had been taken to a police station.
Mr Garzon is suspected of driving too fast on a bend. Reports say the train was travelling at more than double the speed limit at the time of the crash.
He has refused to answer questions.
At least 130 people were taken to hospital after the accident near the north-western city of Santiago de Compostela.
People from several nationalities are among the wounded, including five Americans and one Briton. One American was among the dead.
