High-speed train collision kills 68 in Spain's second crash this year
At least 68 people died when a high-speed Renfe train struck a stationary Iryo train near Toledo, Spain, on Wednesday morning.
Two high-speed trains collided near Urda in Toledo province, central Spain, on Wednesday morning, killing at least 68 people and injuring over 100. The Renfe train was carrying 397 passengers and struck the rear of a stationary Iryo train with 147 passengers. Spain's transport minister said a computer failure initially halted all trains on the affected stretch, but the control centre then inexplicably ordered the Renfe train to resume its journey despite an active red signal. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez declared three days of national mourning and said the disaster was unacceptable for a country suffering its second major rail crash in nine months, following a January collision that killed 46 people.
