A high-speed train crash in Adamuz, southern Spain, on Sunday evening resulted in at least 21 deaths and 73 injuries. The accident occurred when the rear cars of a train traveling from Málaga to Madrid derailed, spilling onto the adjacent track and causing a second train bound for Huelva to also derail. The cause of the initial derailment is currently unknown, though it happened on a straight section of recently replaced track. Rail traffic between Madrid and several major Andalusian cities has been suspended. Emergency services are prioritizing the rescue of victims trapped in the most damaged carriages, and authorities have appealed for medical assistance.
