High-speed train crash near Madrid kills dozens, services halted
A high-speed train collision near Urda, south of Madrid, killed at least 30 people on 28 October, according to BBC reports. The crash involved a Renfe service that struck a stationary Iryo train, prompting emergency crews to treat dozens of injured.
Earlier, The New York Times reported that a Renfe train rear-ended an Iryo train near Toledo, with initial death tolls put at 68. That incident led to the suspension of traffic on the Madrid-Andalusia line and the declaration of a three-day national mourning period.
