Dozens feared dead after two high-speed trains collide in Spain
- On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, two high-speed trains collided near Toledo, Spain, killing at least 64 people and involving more than 500 passengers aboard the AVE and IRYO trains.
- Rail operator Adif confirmed that "traffic on the Madrid-Andalusia high-speed rail line has been suspended following a rear-end collision between two trains." Spanish Health Minister Monica Garcia described the crash as a "high-speed impact."
- Emergency services deployed fire crews, three helicopters, and two mobile intensive care units to assist survivors. Regional president Emiliano Garcia-Page reported at least 80 people were lightly or moderately injured, cautioning, "We expect more deaths."
- Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said he was "shocked" by the "serious train accident." Passenger Miguel told local radio, "We heard a massive roar, a truly enormous thud that went on for 10 seconds as if the train were about to derail."
- This collision follows a January rail disaster near Adamuz, Andalusia, which killed 46 people and injured more than 150. That incident previously shook confidence in the European country's extensive high-speed rail network.
