The collision, described as Spain’s second high-speed train crash this year, occurred in central Spain and prompted an extensive emergency response. One additional body was found during overnight searches, while sniffer-dog teams continued working at the scene. The death toll may rise because some injured passengers remain in critical condition. Authorities are expected to focus on the cause of the crash, rail safety standards and whether operational or infrastructure failures contributed.
