The cause of the accident remains unclear. The derailed train had only begun operations in 2022 and had its last inspection four days before the incident. Minister Puente described the event as “extremely strange” noting that it occurred on a straight, recently renovated section of track. An investigation is underway to determine the exact reasons behind the crash.
