Francisco José Garzón Amo is a Spanish train driver known for his role in the derailment of an Alvia train near Santiago de Compostela on 24 July 2013, which resulted in dozens of deaths and many injured. Data from the black box and camera footage indicated the train entered a curve at a speed far above the limit, triggering judicial and media investigations into professional responsibility and safety failures. In the trial, Garzón Amo admitted human error, saying he suffered a lapse of concentration and braked late, and he was charged with multiple counts of criminal negligence. Investigations also examined the operation of the line’s control and protection systems, including the disconnection of ERTMS and the insufficient automation on the conventional section where the accident occurred. The episode prompted a nationwide review of railway infrastructure and operational changes, with immediate measures to reinforce speed restrictions approaching Santiago. The case remains a landmark in debates over rail safety in Spain, combining individual responsibility and technical issues in the management of high-speed lines integrated with conventional sections.
