Urda, the town of almost 2,500 inhabitants that mobilized in five minutes after the train accident: “No one even had to call”
The town of Toledo, like many other nearby towns, was overwhelmed with attending to the survivors and is now facing its own grieving process three days after the collision between the Iryo and AVE trains.
A train journey from Madrid to Sevilla has resulted in 69 fatalities in an accident in Urda, Toledo. This is the second deadly incident on the same line in under nine months, following a crash in Adamuz, Córdoba, which killed 46 people in January. The line, which launched high-speed travel in 1992, has now seen over 110 deaths in less than a year.
