ADAMUZ, Spain, Jan 21, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Spain's king and queen visited on Tuesday the site where two high-speed trains collided at the weekend, killing 42 people, as a second deadly rail accident overshadowed the start of national mourning. The country's deadliest rail accident in more than a decade took place late Sunday when a train operated by rail company Iryo, travelling from Malaga to Madrid, derailed near Adamuz in the southern Andalusia region. It crossed onto the other track, where it crashed into an oncoming train heading to the southern city of Huelva, which also derailed. Santiago Salvador, a Portuguese national who broke a leg in the accident, said he felt lucky to be alive. In Catalonia, emergency services responding to Tuesday's train accident said their teams had treated 37 people, mostly for light injuries.
