Summary

Two high-speed trains collided near Urda in Toledo province, Spain, on October 28, 2026, resulting in 64 deaths and 80 injured. A Renfe train struck an Iryo train that was stationary on the tracks, causing several carriages of the Iryo train to derail down an embankment while the Renfe train largely remained on the tracks. The cause is under investigation, with initial reports suggesting possible human error at a railway control center or a faulty signaling system, though officials have not confirmed the cause. The collision led to suspension of the Madrid-Andalusia high-speed rail line. Rescue operations involving police, firefighters, medical personnel, and helicopters were underway at the site. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez traveled to the crash site, and the Spanish royal family expressed their grief. The Castilla La Mancha regional government spokesperson has not confirmed the incident.
