Overview
- Two passenger trains — Renfe AVE 2080 and Iryo 6076 — collided at kilometre 118 between Mora/Orgaz and Urda on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 at about 08:54, forcing an immediate halt to high-speed traffic on the Madrid–Seville line.
- The Government has officially confirmed at least ten deaths while emergency sources and several outlets report substantially higher provisional fatality figures and many injured as rescue teams continue recovery work.
- Adif identified the crash as an impact from behind that derailed two Iryo carriages, and initial reporting has mentioned a possible rebase de señal en rojo, though formal conclusions await signal logs and recorder data.
- A large emergency response was deployed, including firefighters, Protección Civil, three medical helicopters, two mobile intensive care units, the UME, and family assistance points set up at Atocha and regional hospitals.
- The accident revives safety concerns after the January Adamuz disaster, and investigators will examine signalling records, train black boxes and operational communications with potential consequences for rail controls and crew protocols.
