68 Dead After High-Speed Train Collision in Central Spain
CBS News reported that a high-speed Renfe train rear-ended a stationary Iryo train in Toledo province on 28 October, killing at least 68 people and injuring dozens. Earlier, the BBC said at least 30 people died after a collision near Urda, with officials suggesting a possible signalling error. The New York Times had earlier described the crash as a rear-end impact that forced suspension of traffic on the Madrid-Andalusia line and triggered a three-day period of national mourning.
