  "account": "A collision between two trains occurred south of Madrid on Wednesday morning, leading to injuries for many individuals, according to local authorities. Mayor Manuel Galan of Urda informed public broadcaster TVE that the incident took place just before 9:00 am (0800 GMT). A spokesperson for the Spanish emergency services confirmed the collision but stated that it was premature to discuss the extent of injuries. They disclosed that all available resources, including several fire crews, three helicopters, and two mobile intensive care units, were being deployed to the scene. Rail infrastructure company ADIF also verified the collision, announcing that the high-speed rail line connecting Madrid to the south had been temporarily suspended. This accident occurred less than a year after a similar rail crash in Adamuz, southern Spain, which resulted in the deaths of 46 people.",
