💨 Abstract

A high-speed train collision in southern Spain killed 45 people and injured 292. Investigators suspect a fractured rail caused both trains to derail and collide. The Iryo train from Malaga to Madrid derailed first, obstructing the adjacent track where the Renfe train from Madrid to Huelva collided with it. Both trains were traveling over 200 km/h, leaving no time to stop.
