At least five people have been killed and dozens more injured after two high-speed trains derailed following a collision in southern Spain on Sunday evening. The accident happened near the town of Adamuz, close to the city of Cordoba, when a high-speed train traveling from Malaga to Madrid derailed and crashed onto a neighboring track, rail network operator Adif said. A second train traveling in the opposite direction, from Madrid to Huelva, also derailed. Andalusian emergency services reported that at least 25 people were seriously injured, with others suffering minor injuries. According to Adif, the crash occurred about ten minutes after the train left Malaga at 18:40 local time (17:40 GMT), and all rail services between Madrid and Andalusia were suspended following the accident. Iryo, a private rail company that operated the journey from Malaga, confirmed the derailment and said around 300 passengers were on board. Salvador Jimenez, a journalist with RTVE who was on one of the trains, described the harrowing experience, mentioning the moment the train felt like it was quaking before derailing. Spain's Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, stated the government is collaborating with emergency services to assist those affected, while Andalusian regional president Juanma Moreno offered condolences and support to the victims and their families.
