68 Killed As 2 High-Speed Trains Collide In Spain, Human Error Likely Cause
At least 68 people have died and several injured in a train crash early on Wednesday near Madrid. After the incident, the rail service between Madrid, Ciudad Real and Andalusia was suspended. The country's rail system operator ADIF said that the crash happened in the province of Toledo at 9:00 AM local time. According to ABC News, the train accident was caused because of a human error. A public utility worker repairing a main signaling fault allegedly failed to warn an AVE high-speed train about an oncoming Iryo train. "Traffic on the Madrid-Andalusia high-speed rail line has been suspended following a rear-end collision between two trains," ADIF said in a message posted on X on Wednesday.
