Summary

Two high-speed trains collided near Urda in Toledo province, Spain, on October 28, 2026, resulting in 69 deaths and 57 injured. One train, operated by state firm Renfe and traveling from Madrid to Seville, struck the rear of a stationary train operated by private company Iryo. Reports attribute the collision to a computer or security system failure that allowed the Renfe train to proceed despite a red signal, with some accounts citing human error by a central command controller. The crash was the second fatal rail incident on the same line in 2026. Rescue teams comprising over 800 military and police personnel, firefighters, the Military Emergency Unit, and medical specialists worked through the night using heavy lifting equipment to recover victims from twisted metal and debris scattered across an embankment. Several carriages remained on an elevated stretch of track. The Spanish government declared three days of national mourning, and the Pope offered condolences. The incident has prompted calls for the transport minister's resignation and demonstrations demanding Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's departure, while train drivers conducted a strike to press for increased railway safety investment.
