2 Canadians Hurt in Spain Train Crash that Left at Least 68 Dead: Carney
- On Wednesday, a high-speed train collision in Urda, Spain, killed at least 64 people, with Prime Minister Mark Carney confirming at least two Canadians were injured in the accident.
- The crash occurred just before 9 a.m. when a state-owned RENFE train struck a stopped IRYO train traveling from Madrid to Seville in the province of Toledo.
- Rescue workers continue to search the wreckage for survivors near Toledo, while regional government officials confirmed 58 people required hospital treatment following the impact.
- Carney expressed Canada's solidarity with victims, promising assistance as needed; rail service between Madrid, Ciudad Real, and Andalusia remains suspended following the accident.
- Until this year, Spain's high-speed rail network had experienced no fatal crashes since opening in 1992, but the system now faces scrutiny after two deadly accidents within months.
