Caption: At Least 30 Dead And 80 Injured In Spain High-Speed Train Crash. At least 30 people have died and 80 have been injured after two high-speed trains collided in Spain's Toledo province. Local authorities warned the number of casualties could rise further amid concerns that the collision could become a "major tragedy”. The trains involved were reportedly Iryo 7076 and AVE 2080, carrying a total of 544 people, including one baby. Early inquiries are examining a possible signalling failure as a potential factor in the crash, according to Spanish media reports. The collision comes less than a year after a high-speed train crash in Adamuz, Córdoba province, killed 46 people and injured 152. Spain operates Europe's largest high-speed rail network and the world's second largest after China, carrying 25 million passengers in 2024. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said he was "shocked", while Transport Minister Óscar Puente was working from the emergency control centre to gather information. King Felipe VI expressed his sorrow over the crash and solidarity with all those affected. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
