2026-10-28
[Reuters] Hundreds of passengers were on board

We can bring you more details from Esther Padilla, spokesperson for the regional government of Castilla La Mancha, where the crash took place.

Padilla told Cadena SER radio that the crash appeared to have involved a high-speed AVE train operated by Renfe, the state railway company, colliding with a stationary high-speed train operated by private company Iryo, on the Madrid-Seville line near Urda, in the province of Toledo.

Padilla said several carriages plunged down an embankment following the collision.

She described a major emergency response involving firefighters, medical teams and nearby hospitals.

She said 147 people, including a baby, were on board the Iryo train and 397 passengers were travelling on the Renfe service.

Hospitals in Toledo, Alcázar de San Juan and Ciudad Real had been activated to receive casualties, she said.
