La investigación del accidente ferroviario ocurrido en Adamuz, que ha dejado al menos 40 muertos, apunta a la posible rotura de un tramo de la vía como elemento clave del siniestro, aunque los técnicos aún deben determinar si fue la causa o la consecuencia del descarrilamiento que derivó en la colisión de dos trenes
