Witness: Spain train driver said he went fast

None

A local resident of the town where a train derailed, killing 78 people, said the driver said minutes after the crash that he had been going fast and couldn't brake.

 

In a television interview broadcast Sunday afternoon by Antena 3, Evaristo Iglesias said he and another person accompanied Francisco Jose Garzon Amo to a stretch of flat ground where other injured people were being laid out, waiting for emergency services to arrive. Iglesias says, "he told us that he wanted to die." (AP)
