At least 10 people died in a high-speed train collision in central Spain, with rail services suspended on the Madrid-Andalusia line. The crash involved two trains, one operated by Renfe and the other by IRYO, near Toledo.
The incident occurred just after 9 a.m. local time between Mora and Orgaz, causing two IRYO wagons to derail. Officials confirmed at least 10 deaths, with emergency services preparing a sports hall to accommodate the injured.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez expressed shock at the accident, calling it a 'serious' incident. The collision follows a similar crash nine months ago on the same line that killed 46 people, raising concerns about railway maintenance and safety investments.
