A devastating high-speed train collision in Spain’s Toledo province has left at least 68 people dead and 58 hospitalized. The disaster occurred when a high-speed train slammed directly into a second train that had stopped on the tracks.
Emergency crews and rescue workers continue to search through the mangled wreckage for survivors, while medical personnel treat the injured.
Authorities have launched a formal investigation into the catastrophic crash, which marks Spain’s second deadly rail collision this year. Officials face growing pressure to determine how signaling and safety protocols failed on one of the country's main rail networks.
