Two high-speed passenger trains collided near Urda, Spain, on Wednesday, 28 October 2026. Emergency services are working at the scene, according to an AP photo published with the report.
France 24's headline says a minister stated that the crash came after a train was ordered to go in error. The material available does not specify which minister made the statement, what the error was or who made it.
The available material also contains no information on the number of injured or dead, the trains' routes, the number of passengers or the progress of any investigation. Those details are therefore not included here.
This report will be updated once confirmed information about the consequences and causes of the crash becomes available.
