Overview
- Authorities report a provisional toll of 39 dead and about 122 injured after two trains collided near Adamuz in Andalusia.
- ADIF says an Iryo service from Málaga to Madrid derailed, crossed onto the opposite track, and was struck by a Renfe/Alvia train heading from Madrid to Huelva.
- Transport Minister Óscar Puente said the first two Alvia carriages were thrown off the tracks into a roughly four‑meter ravine, where many fatalities occurred.
- Emergency crews worked overnight to free passengers from twisted carriages, with dozens hospitalized and several in intensive care.
- High-speed rail links between Madrid and Andalusia remain suspended as CIAF opens a formal investigation, with operators noting the Iryo train was built in 2022 and inspected on January 15.
