  "summary": "The death toll from a high-speed train collision near Urda in Toledo province, Spain, has risen to 74, prompting King Felipe VI to call for measures to prevent another disaster. The collision occurred at 8.53am on Wednesday, when a RENFE high-speed AVE train struck the rear of a stationary Iryo train near Los Yébenes in Castilla-La Mancha. King Felipe VI visited injured passengers and bereaved families at Toledo University Hospital, expressing his anguish and sadness and urging society to move forward together. Spain has declared three days of official mourning, with emergency teams continuing to search the wreckage and forensic specialists working to identify the victims.",
