  "account": "Ten people lost their lives after a collision between two high-speed trains in Spain on Wednesday, according to Spanish media reports. The accident involved a Renfe and an Iryo train, resulting in the derailment of two Iryo wagons. The incident occurred between the towns of Mora and Orgaz, just after 9 a.m. The trains were traveling from Madrid to Seville and carried 544 passengers at the time of the crash. Rail operator Adif promptly suspended the line connecting Madrid to the southern Andalusia region due to the severity of the accident.\n\nGovernment sources revealed that the disaster might be even worse than the Adamuz train derailment that took place in January, killing 42 people and leaving nearly 300 injured. Adif, the Spanish railway operator, stated that the cause and exact number of casualties are still under investigation. Mayor Manuel Galan of Urda, a town near the central city of Toledo, was informed by emergency services to prepare a sports hall to accommodate the injured.\n\nAdditionally, in the same week of January, two other train derailments occurred in Spain. The high-speed rail line connecting Madrid and Andalusia has been temporarily halted following this unfortunate accident.",
