After the train wreck that left at least 77 dead Wednesday night in St. Jacques de Compostela, Galicia, northwest of Spain, the Spanish press forward the thesis of speeding.

According to the newspaper "El Pais", one of the train drivers, stuck in the cabin and communicating by radio with the station told, when nobody even knew the number of accident victims it happened. Complaining of pain in the shoulder and ribs, he explained that he could not get out of the cab.

"We are human beings! We are human beings, "he repeated. "I hope there are no casualties because they remain on my conscience," he added by way of radio.

The driver then told, according to "El Pais" that near the entrance station in Saint-Jacques de Compostela, the train had turned the corner at 190 km / h. Moments later, he even mentioned 200 km / h before returning to the figure of 190. According to "El Pais", this speed corresponds to that shown Wednesday by sources close to the investigation to the Spanish daily.

But this extremely tight turning area, the speed limit is 80 km / h. The driver did not say why the train was traveling at twice the speed limit or why he has not slowed enough to corner entry.
