The accident occurred shortly before 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning between Los Y\u00e9benes and Urda in the province of Toledo, where one train rear-ended the other. Several cars derailed, and at least two tumbled down a slope. The scene at the site is described as chaotic, with mangled wreckage, bodies among the debris, and screams from the injured and survivors.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to initial reports from local authorities and the newspaper ABC, at least 46 people have died. El Pa\u00eds reports lower preliminary figures but cites government sources stating that the death toll will most likely rise. About 550 passengers were on board the two trains\u2014approximately 400 on one and 150 on the other. The rescue operation is extensive, with fire trucks, ambulances, and helicopters on the scene, and a local sports arena has been prepared to receive the injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A passenger in one of the front cars of the train that was struck told El Pa\u00eds that he felt a sudden jolt and was thrown forward. People were thrown from the train, and he and other survivors are now assisting rescue workers. Reports indicate that one of the trains had slowed down and stopped briefly earlier due to traffic problems, but then began moving again. A union spokesperson has called the incident \u201dvery strange,\u201d given that the trains have access to real-time traffic information. Other sources point to a possible human error or problems with the signaling system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prime Minister <strong>Pedro S\u00e1nchez<\/strong> has expressed its horror and support for the victims and their families. The accident comes just months after another fatal high-speed accident near Adamuz in January, in which about 40 people were killed. The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that, at this time, there are no reports of injured or deceased Swedish citizens. Train service on the route has been suspended, and the death toll is expected to rise further as rescue efforts continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddf8 Horrifying footage from inside a high-speed train that crashed and derailed today in Toledo, Spain. <br><br>At least 39 people were killed and hundreds were injured. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/OcEin3UucO\">pic.twitter.com\/OcEin3UucO<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Visegr\u00e1d 24 (@visegrad24) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/visegrad24\/status\/2115379600632995842?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 28, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Aerial footage from the Guardia Civil shows a derailed train with at least one car still on an elevated section of track. <br><br>At least 39 people have died after two high-speed trains collided in Spain, local authorities have told Sky News <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/z4Dg9jyQJn\">pic.twitter.com\/z4Dg9jyQJn<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Sky News (@SkyNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SkyNews\/status\/2115399480782602569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 28, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two high-speed trains collided in Spain\u2014at least 46 dead; cars tumbled down a slope, and the death toll is rising<\/p>","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":68881,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[207,1523,205],"tags":[286],"class_list":["post-181537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-utrikes","category-liten","tag-spanien"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181537","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=181537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/181537\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=181537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=181537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/frihetsnytt.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=181537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
