Story summary

As of November 3, 2026, 69 people died and dozens more were injured after two high-speed trains collided in central Spain. The crash occurred around 9 AM local time on October 27 between the towns of Mora and Orgaz in the province of Toledo, about 150km south of Madrid. One train was a Renfe AVE service from Madrid to Seville, while the other was an Iryo train traveling in the opposite direction. The cause is attributed to human error by the control center in Madrid, which failed to inform the driver of the Renfe train that another train had stopped ahead on the tracks.

Spanish authorities confirmed two Australians among the fatalities. Emergency services reported injuries and asked local officials to prepare a sports pavilion for passengers. The rail operator ADIF suspended service between Madrid and Seville following the incident.
