ADAMUZ, Spain, Jan 20, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Spain begins three days of national mourning on Tuesday for the 40 people killed in a high-speed train crash that the prime minister has vowed to investigate. The crash late on Sunday is Spain's deadliest train accident since 2013, when 80 people died after a train veered off a curved section of track outside the northwestern city of Santiago de Compostela. It crossed onto the other track, where it crashed into an oncoming train, which also derailed. Renfe, the operator of the second train travelling to the southern city of Huelva, said it was carrying 184 passengers. Survivor Lucas Meriako, who was travelling on the first train that derailed, told La Sexta television that it looked "like a horror movie".
