At least 39 people were killed.

Two high-speed trains collided in Spain, causing service to be suspended on the line connecting Madrid with the southern region of Andalusia and resulting in numerous casualties.

This was reported on Wednesday, October 28, by the railway operator Adif, according to Reuters.

According to a spokesperson for the regional government of Castile-La Mancha, trains operated by Renfe and Iryo collided after 9:00 a.m. As a result of the incident, two Iryo train cars derailed.

The spokesperson noted that the cause of the accident and the exact number of casualties are still being determined. According to the emergency services of the autonomous community of Castile-La Mancha, the death toll stands at at least 39 people.

“Service on the Madrid–Andalusia high-speed rail line has been suspended following a collision between two trains, one of which crashed into the rear of the other,” the rail operator reported.

The mayor of Urda Manuel Galán said that emergency services had asked him to prepare a sports hall to accommodate the injured.
