Apparently he was late and was trying to catch up going twice the allowed speed limit.

The driver is under investigation as we speak.

So many deaths for one person's recklessness.

The driver is being held and will be charged. Not sure what the charges will be, considering driving a train too fast isn't on the statutes...

The news said last night that he posted on FB about how he speeds...even taking
pics of how fast he is going.....

Wonder what Spanish Law is like......?

The driver of the Spanish train that derailed last week killing 79 people says he was "careless" when he drove at speed around a bend, reports say. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-23486048)
