A high-speed train collided with another in central Spain, killing ten people. The accident occurred near the town of Cuenca, in the Castile-La Mancha region. Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, which was marked by damaged train cars and debris scattered across the tracks.
The collision happened when one train struck the rear of another, causing a chain reaction that led to multiple cars derailing. Initial reports suggest the crash was caused by a technical failure on the lead train. Rescue teams worked through the night to recover victims, with some remaining in critical condition.
This is the second major rail accident in Spain this year. In March, a similar incident near Madrid resulted in six fatalities. Both accidents have raised questions about the safety of Spain’s high-speed rail network. Officials have announced an investigation into the cause of the crash and have called for increased safety measures. The government has also pledged to review maintenance protocols for the national rail system.
