Death Toll in Spain Train Crash Rises to 64
Two high-speed trains travelling between Madrid and Seville collided in Spain. While regional authorities put the death toll at 64, civil protection sources reported that 46 people had been killed.
Spain’s railway operator Adif announced that services on the Madrid–Andalusia high-speed rail line had been suspended following the crash.
In a statement, Adif said: “Traffic on the Madrid–Andalusia high-speed rail line has been suspended following a rear-end collision between two trains.”
According to information from 112 emergency services, the impact of the collision caused two carriages to roll down an embankment. The crash reportedly occurred when a Renfe high-speed train travelling from Madrid to Seville collided with an Iryo high-speed train travelling in the opposite direction.
Spanish media reports said eyewitnesses had reported numerous injured people and that medical teams had been dispatched to the scene.
Train services between Madrid, Ciudad Real and Andalusia were temporarily suspended following the accident.
Rescue and medical teams continued their operations in the area, while investigations into the cause of the crash were ongoing.
