Heavy machinery is being used to support rescue and recovery efforts after a deadly two-train collision in southern Spain that has claimed at least 41 lives. Emergency teams worked through a second night at the crash site, with officials confirming that three bodies remain trapped inside a severely damaged carriage. More than 120 people were injured when a Madrid-bound train derailed on Sunday evening in the town of Adamuz and crossed onto the opposite track, colliding with an oncoming train.
Authorities have ruled out sabotage, according to Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska. Investigators are instead focusing on the possibility of a broken rail on the high-speed line, though officials say all potential causes remain under review.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez cancelled his planned visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos, saying the government is committed to fully investigating what has been described as Spain’s worst rail disaster in over ten years.
King Felipe and Queen Letizia visited the scene on Tuesday, meeting emergency workers and offering their support as the country began three days of national mourning. Transport Minister Óscar Puente said the number of fatalities could still rise and confirmed that the process of identifying victims is ongoing.
