The driver of the train that crashed in Spain killing 79 people was on the phone talking to railway officials just before it crashed, investigators say. The train was traveling at 190kph in the moments before it came off the tracks outside of Santiago De Compostela last Wednesday - more than twice the speed limit - a preliminary hearing has been told. Crash investigators have been opening the black boxes which record details about the train's speed and conversations between drivers and other controllers. The train was carrying 218 passengers when it hurtled off the tracks - 79 people lost their lives, and many more are still being treated for injuries.
