Two trains collided Wednesday morning in Spain's Toledo province, rail operator Adif said, and Spanish media cited by Euronews reported at least 10 people killed1,2,3.
Adif said traffic on the Madrid-Andalusia high-speed line was suspended after a rear-end collision2. CBS said Adif placed the incident in Toledo province and that service was suspended between Madrid, Ciudad Real and Andalusia1. Euronews said the crash was south of Madrid and that Adif confirmed a collision on the line from Madrid to the south3.
Adif placed the incident between Mora, Orgaz and Urda at kilometer point 118, involving a Renfe train and an Iryo train on the Madrid-Seville route2. TVE, cited by CBS, said the trains were traveling in the same direction and that one struck the tail of the other, knocking two cars off the track1. El País, cited by RTÉ, said the crash was shortly after 9 a.m. local time between Los Yébenes and Urda and that the trains were traveling in opposite directions, with two carriages leaving the tracks2.
Urda Mayor Manuel Galán told TVE there were people injured and that emergency services asked the town to prepare a sports hall2,3. The CBS account reviewed Wednesday morning described injuries and did not include an official death figure1. Cause, a government-confirmed casualty count and a full passenger count were not established in the reports reviewed1,2,3.
