Overview
- Authorities report at least 39 dead and about 123 injured after an Iryo train derailed near Adamuz and its rear cars struck an oncoming Renfe service at 19:45.
- The impact on the Córdoba‑area corridor threw the first two Renfe cars off the rails, with all patients needing hospital care evacuated overnight.
- Spain’s rail manager Adif suspended high‑speed traffic between Madrid and Córdoba, Seville, Málaga and Huelva for at least Monday as recovery operations continue.
- Officials say causes remain unknown, with human error described as practically ruled out; the Iryo train was built in 2022 and inspected on January 15 on a section equipped with LZB safety systems.
- Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez declared three days of national mourning and pledged full transparency as the CIAF accident commission collects evidence on site.
