‘At least 39 dead’ after two high-speed trains collide in Spain: Report
- On Wednesday, a high-speed collision between a Renfe AVE train and an Iryo service near Urda, Toledo, killed at least 46 people and left 179 injured, with emergency crews searching the wreckage.
- Preliminary findings indicate the Renfe train struck the rear of the stationary Iryo service; Cadena SER reported the Renfe train continued despite a red signal, though investigators have not determined the cause.
- Emergency teams including Civil Protection worked at the scene where two carriages derailed down an embankment, while authorities established a support center at Madrid's Atocha station for relatives.
- Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expressed he was "deeply saddened" by the disaster, leading the government to cancel its Wednesday schedule as major political parties suspended campaign activities.
- The tragedy mirrors a January 18 collision near Adamuz that killed 46 people, renewing scrutiny of Spain's high-speed rail network, which extends more than 1,900 miles.
