The collision occurred in Toledo when a RENFE train struck a stationary IRYO train, according to reporting citing the Associated Press. Spain has declared three days of national mourning as cleanup and rescue operations continue, and the death toll could rise because some injured passengers remain in critical condition. The crash is the country’s second deadly high-speed rail disaster this year, intensifying scrutiny of railway oversight and infrastructure ahead of a national election.[2][8]
