Iryo, a private railway company that operated the journey from Malaga, said that around 300 passengers were on board the train that derailed first, while the other train, operated by the state-owned company Renfe, had around 100 passengers…

At least 24 people were killed and 73 others were injured on Sunday evening in a high-speed rail accident involving two trains in southern Spain, authorities confirmed.

Of the injured, 15 are in serious condition, said the President of the Andalusia region, Juanma Moreno, adding that medical teams had treated another 170 people for minor injuries at a field hospital, according to public broadcaster RTVE.

The accident occurred at around 7:40 p.m. local time (18:40 GMT) when a train traveling from Malaga to Madrid derailed near Adamuz, Córdoba, and entered an adjacent track.

Authorities warned that the death toll could rise in the worst railway collision in Spain in more than a decade.

The carriages of a train heading to Madrid derailed and crossed onto the opposite track, colliding with an oncoming train in Adamuz, near the city of Córdoba.
