ADAMUZ, Spain, Jan 20, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The death toll from a high-speed train collision in southern Spain rose to 40 on Monday as the government vowed a full investigation into its causes. 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. The latest happened when a train operated by rail company Iryo travelling from Malaga to Madrid derailed near Adamuz in Andalusia. 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.
