Spain's transport minister has refused to resign following a second deadly high-speed train crash this year, Reuters reports.

The government is under growing pressure after officials confirmed that traffic control errors caused the recent Madrid-Barcelona rail disaster, per the New York Times.

PM Pedro Sánchez said Spain’s trust in its high-speed rail system is 'broken' after the incident, which occurred on October 30th, the Guardian notes.

The crash has prompted a temporary suspension of services between Madrid and Barcelona, Bloomberg reports.
