On January 18, in Spain, at least 40 people were killed as a result of two high-speed trains derailing. According to the latest information, the number of injured has exceeded 150.
The accident occurred near the city of Adamuz in the province of Córdoba, approximately 360 kilometers south of Madrid. The 27-year-old train driver, who was traveling from Madrid to the city of Huelva, was also killed. It was noted that there were a total of 317 passengers on the two trains.
Since January is not considered a tourist season, it is currently unclear how many tourists were among the passengers on the trains.
