At least 30 people are dead after two high-speed trains collided in Urda, Toledo, Spain. The accident forced suspension of services and was the fourth major train incident in the country this year. On January 18, a high-speed train derailed and crossed onto an oncoming track, colliding with another train, ultimately killing at least 45 people. Two days later, a commuter train in Barcelona hit a retaining wall that had collapsed onto the tracks, killing one person and injuring at least 40 more. On January 22, another commuter train hit a construction crane, injuring several passengers.
In Toledo, a train operated by Renfe and another by Iryo collided near Urda. Initial reporting says one train rear-ended the other after a signaling issue.
