As of November 2, 2026, 69 people died after two high-speed trains collided in Toledo province, central Spain, on October 27, 2026. The crash involved a Renfe train traveling from Madrid to Seville and an Iryo train heading in the opposite direction. Among the fatalities were 4 Americans, 1 Canadian, and one victim each from France, Japan, Argentina, Mexico, Portugal, Tunisia, and the Czech Republic; 54 of those killed were Spanish nationals. The collision caused two carriages to derail, prompting rescuers to search the site for days. Local officials asked the town hall in Urda to prepare a sports pavilion for injured passengers. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez pledged an investigation to restore trust in Spain’s rail system, which carried some 45 million travelers last year, including millions of tourists.
