Dozens feared dead after two high-speed trains collide in Spain

Emergency crews rescued passengers after a rear-end collision between two high-speed trains, and authorities suspended service on the Madrid-Andalusia corridor.

  • On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, a Renfe AVE train rear-ended a stationary Iryo service near Urda, Toledo, derailing carriages and killing at least 30 people as rail operator ADIF suspended Madrid-Andalusia high-speed services.
  • Signaling failures are a primary focus for investigators, as this collision follows a January derailment near Adamuz that killed 46 people, intensifying scrutiny of safety protocols on the Madrid-Seville corridor.
  • Emergency crews deployed three helicopters and mobile intensive care units to the scene where 544 passengers were aboard the two trains. Spanish Health Minister Monica Garcia told TVE it was a "high impact accident, it will be a major tragedy."
  • Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez canceled his agenda ahead of the November 29 election, while the Spanish Football Federation postponed 24 Copa del Rey matches as a mark of respect for the victims.
  • Casualty figures are expected to climb as hospitals in Toledo, Ciudad Real, and Alcazar de San Juan suspended planned surgeries to handle incoming patients, straining regional healthcare capacity during the crisis.
