At least 40 people have now been confirmed dead and more than 150 injured after two high-speed trains derailed and collided near Adamuz in Córdoba province, in one of Spain’s deadliest rail disasters in years.
The accident occurred Sunday evening when an Iryo service from Málaga to Madrid derailed and crossed onto an adjacent track, colliding with a Renfe Alvia train bound for Huelva. Rescue teams have recovered victims and treated numerous injured, with dozens still hospitalised.
