A major high-speed train collision occurred near the Urda railway station in the province of Toledo, involving an AVE train and an Iryo convoy. Preliminary reports from the Civil Guard suggest the accident happened when an AVE train was ordered to proceed without notification that an Iryo train was stopped directly ahead.

The crash resulted in significant casualties, with reports indicating 68 deaths and over a hundred injuries. The incident caused major disruptions to the high-speed rail corridor connecting Madrid and Andalusia.

In response to the tragedy, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) suspended 24 Copa del Rey matches scheduled for October 28 as a gesture of solidarity. Footballers from clubs including Barcelona and Real Madrid expressed grief on social media, with some players sharing emergency helpline numbers and calls for blood donations to support local hospitals.
