🇪🇸 BREAKING: At least 46 dead and 179 injured after two high-speed trains collided near Urda, Toledo, on Spain's Madrid–Andalusia line. Two carriages plunged down an embankment. Rail traffic between Madrid and Andalusia is suspended in both directions. These figures come from Spanish local media, so they could still change. The trains were reportedly a Renfe AVE and an Iryo, but I left that out until officials confirm it.
