Spanish media reported that at least 46 people were killed and others injured in a collision between two high-speed trains on the line connecting Madrid and Andalusia.
State television said Spanish authorities warned that the death toll could rise, noting that the two trains were heading toward southern Spain before one collided with the other from behind, causing two carriages to plunge down an embankment in the province of Toledo.
For its part, ADIF, the company responsible for Spain’s railway infrastructure, announced the suspension of high-speed train services in both directions on the Madrid-Andalusia line, while the Spanish government canceled its schedule for the day.
It added that the precise causes of the accident remain unclear, and no final casualty figures or complete information on the number of injured have been made available.
