MADRID: At least 21 people were confirmed dead and more than 70 others injured after two high-speed trains collided near the city of Cordoba in southern Spain on Sunday, authorities said.
Thirty of the injured were in serious condition and hospitalized, Spain's Transport Minister Oscar Puente said Monday. Earlier media reports put the number at 25.
The accident occurred at around 1945 local time (1845 GMT) when a train carrying 317 passengers on the Malaga-Madrid route derailed for reasons still unknown near Amaduz, about 20 km from Cordoba, Spanish authorities said.
The derailed train struck another high-speed train traveling on an adjacent track from Madrid to Huelva, causing the latter to derail.
Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday voiced deep condolences over the tragedy. "Today is a night of deep pain for our country owing to the tragic rail accident in Adamuz," he wrote on X. Spain's royal family also extended condolences to the families of the victims.
