Story summary

At least 30 people died and about 80 were injured when two high-speed trains collided in Toledo province, central Spain, on Wednesday morning. The crash occurred just after 9 AM local time as one train rear-ended another that had stopped on the track, causing two cars to derail. Rail services between Madrid and Andalusia have been suspended.

The regional president of Castilla La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, stated the death toll could rise further. The crash echoes last January's tragedy in Adamuz where 46 people were killed. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expressed shock over the accident and praised emergency services for their efforts.

Spain’s national football federation postponed all 24 Copa del Rey games scheduled for Wednesday out of solidarity with victims.
