A high-speed Iryo train travelling from Málaga to Madrid derailed near the municipality of Adamuz in Córdoba province, crossing on to the opposite track where it hit an oncoming train travelling south from Madrid to Huelva.
The second train, which was operated by the state rail company Renfe, also derailed and went down an embankment, authorities said. Sunday’s crash was the deadliest train accident since 2013, when a train travelling at 111mph (179km/h) derailed on a stretch of track with a 50mph speed limit in the north-western region of Galicia, killing 80 people.
