Collision of Two Trains Near Madrid Results in Injuries

On Wednesday morning, two trains collided south of Madrid, leading to multiple injuries, as confirmed by local authorities. Manuel Galan, the mayor of Urda, reported the incident to public broadcaster TVE, stating, "Two trains have collided.

There are people injured." A spokesperson for the Spanish emergency services indicated that the collision occurred just before 9:00 am (0800 GMT) but noted it was too early to provide specific details on the injuries. Emergency resources were mobilized, including several fire crews, three helicopters, and two mobile intensive care units.

The rail infrastructure company ADIF confirmed the collision and announced that the high-speed rail line from Madrid to the south had been suspended. This accident follows a previous rail crash in Adamuz, southern Spain, which resulted in 46 fatalities less than a year ago.
