At least ten people died and several were injured when two high-speed trains collided near Toledo, Spain on Wednesday morning. One train struck the rear of another that was traveling in the same direction, causing two cars to derail. Rail service has been suspended between Madrid, Ciudad Real, and Andalusia as a result.

Story summary

As of October 30, 2026, a high-speed train collision in central Spain resulted in at least 69 deaths and over 100 injuries. The crash occurred just after 9 AM local time on Wednesday, involving an AVE train from Renfe traveling from Madrid to Seville and another Iryo train heading north from Seville toward Madrid. It happened between the towns of Mora and Orgaz in the province of Toledo. Spanish transport minister Óscar Puente refused to resign over the incident despite calls for his removal, insisting on focusing on identifying the cause rather than personal accountability. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez acknowledged that public trust in Spain's high-speed rail network has been "broken" following this tragedy and another fatal collision earlier in the year.
