A state-of-the-art high-speed train derailed on a straight, newly renovated section of track on Sunday evening, leading to a catastrophic collision. The incident, which occurred near Adamuz in the southern province of Córdoba, has claimed at least 21 lives and left more than 70 people injured.
Transport Minister Óscar Puente has described the circumstances as 'extremely strange', noting that the accident defies the usual logic of rail disasters. The crash involved a modern Iryo train, less than four years old, and occurred on a line that underwent a major upgrade just months ago.
