Two fast trains crashed near Urda, Spain, on 28 October. By that afternoon, officials reported at least 64 deaths and 58 injuries. Rescue work continued, so the numbers could change.
Early reports said one train had stopped. The other hit it from behind. Some carriages left the rails. Rescue teams searched the trains and helped injured people. Some train services also stopped.
The official cause is not yet known. Investigators must check what happened. Spain had another deadly train crash in January, but the accidents happened differently. There is no confirmed shared cause. For now, helping people comes first. Finding the cause may help make future journeys safer.
