ONE of the two drivers of the horrific rail crash in Spain that killed at least 80 people yesterday had previously boasted on facebook of driving trains at high speed.
Francisco Jose Garzon Amo, 52, posted a picture on his Facebook account in March last year showing a speedometer on a train under his control reaching 200kmh (125mph).
During a Facebook conversation underneath the picture he even boasts about breaking the speed limit and triggering a fine for Spain’s train operator RENFE.
Both drivers of yesterday’s crash near Santiago de Compostela survived the disaster.
One was taken to hospital, while the other has been placed under formal investigation for speeding.
It is unclear whether Mr Garzon Amo is the man being investigated.
