El guardia civil Salvador rescató a Almudena del vagón 1 del Iryo, el más afectado del accidente: “Solo había silencio”
Dos agentes fueron los primeros en acceder al vehículo de cola del tren que fue embestido en el grave choque. Allí escucharon solo los gritos de una mujer
Salvador Correa has been patrolling since seven in the morning. He is a guardia civil, like his father, who passed on the profession and the name. He works in the Toledo Security Unit and is preparing a control post with his partner near Illescas when they receive a warning: two trains have derailed near their position. "It can't be anyone else," they think.
They clear their minds for a scene similar to the one that occurred nine months ago. They put on two pairs of gloves each, simple latex ones and hard ones to avoid cuts. It takes them about 20 minutes to arrive in Urda. Upon sighting people walking with suitcases, as if in shock, they see personnel attending to injured individuals trapped inside the convoys. "There was only silence," he says.
