Devastating Train Collision in Spain Claims Dozens of Lives

A tragic train collision occurred in Spain, near Adamuz in Andalusia, resulting in the deaths of at least 39 people and injuries to 152. The crash involved two high-speed trains, one operated by Iryo and the other by Renfe. Drone footage and eyewitness accounts reveal the extent of the devastation, with rescuers working to free passengers from the wreckage. The Spanish Minister of Transport has warned that the death toll may rise, while Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is traveling to the accident site. Iryo announced that its train had been inspected on Thursday. The exact cause of the collision remains under investigation, but the force of the impact was so great that the first two carriages of the Renfe train derailed.
