A devastating train collision occurred south of Madrid on Wednesday morning, leaving multiple individuals injured, according to local authorities. Mayor Manuel Galan of the town of Urda informed public broadcaster TVE, "Two trains have collided — there are people injured." A spokesperson for Spanish emergency services informed AFP that the incident transpired just before 9:00 am (0800 GMT), though they cautioned that it was premature to discuss injuries.
The spokesperson added that all available resources were being utilized, including multiple fire crews, three helicopters, and two mobile intensive care units. Rail infrastructure firm ADIF confirmed the collision, tweeting that the high-speed rail line connecting Madrid to the south had been halted. This accident follows a similar tragedy in Adamuz, southern Spain, less than a year ago, where 46 people lost their lives.
