Two high-speed trains collided Wednesday morning in Spain's Toledo province on the Madrid-Seville line, and regional officials confirmed fatalities as rescue crews worked at the site near Urda^1,2,3.

Rail operator Adif said the incident involved a Renfe train and an Iryo train covering the Madrid-Seville route¹. Africanews reported the crash between Urda and Los Yebenes, saying a train traveling toward Seville struck the rear of another that had stopped on the same track and that two carriages left the rails².

BBC placed it just after 9 a.m. local time between Mora and Orgaz, about 140 kilometers south of Madrid¹.

BBC likewise said at least 10 people were confirmed dead¹. A Castilla-La Mancha spokesperson later told ABC News at least 30 people were killed and that the toll was expected to rise³. Euronews said officials put the figure at at least 30 and that local media citing emergency services reported 46 deaths, a higher number Euronews said remained unconfirmed⁴.

Africanews cited 397 passengers on the Renfe train and 147 on the Iryo service².
