  "account": "Two trains collided in Spain near Madrid on Wednesday morning, resulting in at least 30 deaths and potentially more casualties. The incident occurred between municipalities Mora and Orgaz, approximately 140km south of Madrid. It was reported that a high-speed Renfe train rear-ended an Iryo train, which was stationary. Two carriages reportedly fell down an embankment during the crash. All train traffic on this line has been suspended. Renfe, Spain's national state-owned railway company, and Iryo, a private high-speed railway operator, are involved in the accident. Over 500 people were believed to be on board both trains. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expressed shock and solidarity with the victims and their families, canceling all public engagements on the day of the accident. Hospitals in the area have canceled planned surgeries to accommodate the influx of patients. Spain's royal family also expressed condolences. This marks the second high-speed rail tragedy in Spain this year, following a derailment in January that claimed 46 lives.",
  "summary": "More than 500 passengers were on board the trains when the incident occurred in the province of Toledo, south of Madrid.",
