A mistake in the automated track switches. An anomaly that should not have happened in the design of the railway system. This is how Oscar David Lozano, Director General of Mexico's Maya Train, explained the track incident during the morning press conference, which caused a minor derailment of two train cars at the Izamal station in Yucatan on Tuesday afternoon.

Brightline trains have killed an astounding 182 people since beginning service in 2018, averaging one death every 13 days on the tracks.
