Story summary

As of October 28, 2026, at least 68 people are confirmed dead after two high-speed trains collided in Toledo province, central Spain. The accident occurred just before 9 a.m. local time when one train ran into the rear of another that had stopped due to a computer failure on the Madrid-Seville route. Survivors described passengers being thrown into the air and trapped in wreckage; some broke windows to escape. Emergency services are working at the scene, with dozens more injured and treated at hospitals. The crash has been called one of Europe’s worst rail disasters in modern history, surpassing a similar incident earlier this year that killed 46 people near Adamuz. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expressed condolences on X, stating he is coordinating closely with local authorities to assist the victims.
