‘At least 39 dead’ after two high-speed trains collide in Spain: Report
Emergency crews were deployed after the rear-end collision, and officials said at least 10 people died as service on the corridor was halted.
- On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, a Renfe AVE high-speed train and an Iryo service collided near Urda in Toledo province, causing two carriages to derail and plunge down an embankment; Adif suspended all Madrid-Andalusia high-speed rail traffic.
- The rear-end collision occurred at 8:54 a.m. at kilometer point 118, when one train struck the tail of the other while stopped between Mora, Orgaz, and Urda on the Madrid-Seville route.
- Esther Padilla, spokeswoman for the government of Castilla-La Mancha, confirmed at least 10 deaths, cautioning "that number will surely rise" as emergency crews deployed three helicopters and two mobile intensive care units to assist survivors.
- Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez cancelled his Wednesday engagements, expressing he was "deeply saddened" by the disaster, while regional president Emiliano Garcia-Page suspended government activities to travel to the crash site.
- This collision renews scrutiny of Spain's high-speed network following a severe rail crisis in January 2026, when two fatal accidents occurred within 48 hours; the Adamuz tragedy, which killed 46 people, had previously triggered national safety investigations.
