A Renfe AVE ran into the back of a stopped Iryo train on Spain's Madrid–Seville high-speed line near Urda, Toledo, on 28 October 2026. At least 64 people died, according to the regional government of Castilla-La Mancha, and the toll may rise. This video sets out what has been confirmed, what has been attributed to government sources, what is still speculation, and what investigators will need to establish: how the LZB train-protection system keeps trains apart, what happens when it is not working, and how this collision compares with Adamuz (January 2026) and Angrois (2013).
