Spain was shocked to hear a collision on a high-speed train today (28th). It was reported that two carriages derailed, causing heavy casualties. It is currently reported that at least 39 people are known to have been killed, but the exact number still needs to be clarified.

According to comprehensive foreign media reports, the incident occurred at around 9 a.m. local time today (4 p.m. Taiwan time on the 28th).

Manuel Galan, the mayor of Urda, a town near the accident site, said that the emergency rescue department contacted them immediately after learning of the accident and prepared a gymnasium to accommodate and place the injured. The number of casualties remains to be clarified. Some foreign media quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that at least 10 people were killed.
