On Wednesday, two high-speed trains collided in Spain, killing at least 30 people, according to regional authorities. This marks the second deadly accident on the Madrid to Andalusia line in under a year. Footage from Castilla-La Mancha Television showed a derailed train with multiple casualties. One passenger, Miguel, described the moment of the accident, saying, "We heard a massive roar, a truly enormous thud that went on for 10 seconds, as if the train were about to derail."
The death toll has since risen to 30 from an initial report of 10. This collision is the second since January, when a crash near Adamuz in Cordoba province killed 46 people, sparking debates about railway maintenance investment.
