64 people killed in collision between Renfe and Iryo trains near Madrid. Line suspended between Madrid and Seville. Two trains collided just south of Madrid, causing derailment and casualties.

Incident occurred between Mora and Orgaz, 140km south of Madrid. Renfe train rear-ended Iryo train, which was stationary. At least 64 confirmed dead, with 80 injured. Cause under investigation.

Spanish government has suspended rail services on the line. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called for mourning and investigation. Authorities are determining number of injuries and cause of collision.

Cause of collision remains unclear. Transport minister says system failure led to trains being allowed to move without speed restrictions. Decision to resume services may have contributed to the crash.
