Two high-speed trains collided on a line connecting Madrid to Spain's Andalusia region, resulting in at least 10 fatalities. The accident, which occurred nine months after a previous derailment near Adamuz in Cordoba province that killed 46 people, halted train traffic on the Madrid-Andalusia high-speed rail line. Renfe and an Iryo train collided just after 9am, causing two Iryo wagons to derail, though the cause and extent of injuries remain unclear.
Footage showed a derailed train with twisted metal and wreckage scattered along an embankment. The incident occurred on the Madrid to Seville route, prompting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to express shock and offer condolences to the victims and their families.
