On October 27, 2026, two high-speed trains collided near Toledo province in central Spain, resulting in the deaths of 39 people. The crash occurred on a line connecting Madrid to Seville and involved an AVE train from Renfe and an Iryo train traveling in opposite directions.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident, with initial reports suggesting it may be due to human error or failures within Spain's high-speed rail system.
