The crash occurred shortly before 9:15 a.m. local time. More than 500 passengers were aboard the trains, operated by AVE and Iryo, according to Spanish newspaper El País.

At least two carriages reportedly plunged down an embankment. Authorities have not confirmed the number of injured passengers, and officials fear the death toll could increase.

Railway infrastructure manager Adif suspended services on the Madrid-to-Andalusia high-speed line and began examining the circumstances, Spain’s EFE news agency reported.
