Two high-speed trains collided in Spain, resulting in the suspension of service on the line connecting Madrid with the region of Andalusia, in southern Spain, the Spanish railway company ADIF announced today, without providing further details.
According to the Spanish newspaper El País, the accident occurred shortly after 9 a.m. local time (08:00 GMT) between the towns of Los Yebenes and Urda, in the province of Toledo.

ÚLTIMA HORA | Accidente ferroviario en la línea de alta velocidad entre Los Yébenes y Urda. Al parecer en el accidente estarían implicados un tren AVE de Renfe y uno de Iryo. Lo contamos en https://t.co/2A3tQBLvV0 https://t.co/3ygGNbwKoK
The incident involved an AVE high-speed train that had departed from Madrid bound for Seville and a train operated by Iryo traveling in the opposite direction, according to the report.
Manuel Galán, mayor of Urda, near the central city of Toledo, said he was asked by emergency services to prepare a gym to accommodate the injured.
This is yet another tragic train accident in the country, following the recent derailment of two high-speed trains in Adamuth (Córdoba) on January 18, 2026, which resulted in the deaths of 46 people.
