Overview
- The Iryo 6189 Málaga–Madrid service derailed near Adamuz in Córdoba shortly after departing Málaga, crossing onto an adjacent track and causing a Madrid–Huelva train to also leave the rails.
- Officials and multiple outlets report at least 10 fatalities, with dozens injured and some passengers still reported trapped as casualty figures remain provisional.
- Adif halted high-speed services between Madrid and Andalusia, and trains already in transit were turned back to their origin points as emergency operations continued.
- Emergency teams deployed ambulances, mobile ICUs and a field hospital, while Spain’s transport minister coordinated the response and hospitals were placed on alert.
- Iryo said roughly 300 people were aboard the Málaga–Madrid train; authorities have not identified a cause and formal investigators are expected to examine the derailment at the track switches.
