Spain Train Crash: Shocking images show rail piercing through carriage
The collision near Urda caused several carriages to derail, leaving wreckage scattered across the tracks and a nearby embankment.
The death toll of a high-speed train crash in Spain has increased to at least 64, according to a spokesperson for Castilla-La Mancha's regional president Emiliano Garcia-Page. The accident occurred on Wednesday, October 28, when two trains collided in Toledo, resulting in numerous injuries and the death of several individuals. Authorities from Renfe and Iryo, the private consortium operating the train, have not yet commented on the cause of the accident.
The incident is being investigated by experts who will examine whether there are any similarities with a fatal accident that occurred in January near Adamuz in Andalusia, which claimed 46 lives. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez expressed shock at the serious train accident near Toledo and commended the efforts of emergency services in handling the situation.
