US EditionAt Least 39 Killed in Collision of Two High-Speed Trains in Southern Spain
- On January 18, 2026, two high-speed trains collided near Adamuz in Córdoba province, killing at least 39 people, with the accident occurring at 7.45 pm about 10 minutes after the Iryo left Córdoba.
- Investigators note that excessive speed appears unlikely, as Spain's Railway Accident Investigation probes the crash on a line managed by Adif, which was recently renovated.
- The derailment sent the Iryo 6189's last three carriages onto the opposite track, where a Renfe Alvia carrying around 200 passengers struck them at about 200 kph.
- Adif immediately suspended all high-speed services between Madrid and Andalusia, a reception centre was set up in Adamuz, town of 5,000 residents, and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office issued a travel warning on Monday.
- Under pressure from officials and the public, authorities continue on-site work as Álvaro Fernández Heredia, president of Renfe, warns a conclusive answer may take days while Spain's Railway Accident Investigation and Guardia Civil lead the probe.
