At least 50 people have been killed after two trains collided in Spain this morning, with the number expected to rise, local media outlets are reporting.
The train crash occurred in Toledo province, which sits in central Spain to the south of Madrid.
The provincial capital Toledo is around 40 miles southwest of the Spanish capital, and the crash involved two trains that were traveling on the line linking Madrid to Seville, which is around a further 200 miles south-west of the city of Toledo.
The country’s prime minister has described the crash as a “serious” incident. It happened when the carriages were traveling along the route connecting the capital city Madrid with Seville, according to the railway infrastructure manager ADIF. The high-speed line linking the Madrid region with Andalusia has been suspended.
This is the third rail disaster in Spain in 2026. In January, two high-speed trains collided near Adamuz, in southern Spain’s Córdoba province, killing more than 40 people. A commuter train near Barcelona derailed days later. (CNN)
