Spain's transport minister, Óscar Puente, has announced that he will leave his post. His decision follows two deadly train crashes in the country in less than a year. His departure means the Spanish government will need to find a new head for the ministry responsible for transport and railways.

The minister's name appears in the story's web address, while the headline of the report states that the crash killed 69 people.

The information available does not say when or where the two crashes happened, what caused them, when exactly the minister will leave office, or who might succeed him. Those details are not given and may emerge later.
