The island director of the General State Administration in La Gomera, Juan Luis Navarro, has stated that the main working hypothesis points to a possible mechanical failure, specifically related to the condition of the vehicle's brakes.

However, Navarro emphasized the need for the Civil Guard to thoroughly examine all details of the bus's condition after the accident, in addition to analyzing the tachograph, a crucial electronic device that records speed and the vehicle's operation.

Officers have already begun interviewing passengers, although not all statements have been completed. Some important testimonies, such as that of the deceased's wife, were still pending early on Sunday.

Navarro highlighted the importance of the multiple investigative elements, including testimonies from those on board. The work began on the same day of the incident, with the intervention of the Judicial Police and traffic units.

A specialized team from Tenerife traveled to the island on Friday, the day of the accident, to conduct an in situ analysis, extract the tachograph, and begin interviewing passengers and potential witnesses along the route. The investigation will continue for several days, and some reports could take up to thirty days to provide conclusive results.
