At least 30 people are confirmed dead after two high-speed trains collided near Toledo, central Spain on Wednesday morning, with officials warning the death toll may increase further. The accident occurred around 9 AM local time when one train slammed into the rear of another that had stopped suddenly; this caused two carriages to derail. Rail services between Madrid and Andalusia were suspended following the crash.

The collision involved trains operated by Renfe and Iryo heading south from Madrid towards Seville. Rescue efforts are ongoing as emergency services work to assist those affected.
