[Regnum] The death toll in the passenger train collision in Spain has risen to 68. This was announced on October 28 by Emiliano García-Pajé, head of the government of the autonomous community of Castile-La Mancha.
"According to the latest data we have, 68 people have died," García-Pajé said in a speech broadcast by RTVE.
On the morning of October 28, in the Spanish province of Toledo, between the villages of Los Yebenes and Urda, two high-speed trains traveling from Madrid to Seville collided. The Renfe train was carrying 397 passengers, while the second train, operated by private operator Iryo, was carrying 147. The collision derailed several cars, some of which fell down an embankment. Initial reports indicated 64 fatalities and 179 injuries.
Local authorities have launched an investigation. According to preliminary reports, the automatic signaling system malfunctioned, the train was switched to manual control, and a control center employee allowed the Renfe train to proceed, even though an Iryo train was already parked on the tracks ahead.
Following the emergency, the Sindicato Español de Maquinistas Ferroviarios (Sindicato Español de Maquinistas Ferroviarios) union of train drivers declared a strike, demanding that authorities take effective measures to improve safety.
The Russian Embassy in Madrid stated that no complaints had been received from Russians regarding the train collision in Spain.
