The railway accident occurred at around 9 a.m. local time (8 a.m. in Lisbon) between Toledo and two towns in the region — Los Yébenes and Urda, according to multiple news agencies. One train was traveling from the capital toward Seville, while the other was heading in the opposite direction.

According to RTP, the death toll rose to 64 during the day, with 179 people reported injured. One account indicated that the two high-speed trains carried a total of 544 people on board.

Rescue operations were still ongoing at the accident site. Público noted that this is the second high-speed rail accident in Spain this year.

Some sources suggest the accident may have been caused by human error, as reported by Público, though no details about the cause had been officially confirmed at the time the reports were released.
