A further 75 people hospitalised after two trains collided and derailed near Adamuz in Córdoba province

At least 39 people have been killed and 12 are in intensive care after two trains collided in southern Spain on Sunday night in what the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, called “a night of deep pain for our country”.

A high-speed Iryo train travelling from Málaga to Madrid derailed near the municipality of Adamuz in Córdoba province at around 7.40pm on Sunday, crossing on to the other track where it hit an oncoming train, Adif, Spain’s rail infrastructure authority, posted on X.

The death/injury numbers have been going up since the last report a few hours ago

    Thanks for the info. How might culpability go back to the transport minister and the whole government? Did they create track company Adif? Did they refuse to reform it?
