At least 10 dead in crash between 2 Spanish trains in Toledo province

MADRID (AP) — Spanish authorities say at least 10 people have died in a crash between two trains in central Spain.

Esther Padilla, spokeswoman for the Castilla La Mancha region, said that authorities can confirm 10 deaths, but that “that number will surely rise.”

Spain’s rail system operator ADIF said the crash occurred Wednesday morning in the province of Toledo. Rail service was suspended between Madrid, Ciudad Real and Andalusia.

Padilla told state broadcaster TVE that the accident was between two high-speed trains heading in the same direction and that one ran into the tail of the other while it was stopped, knocking two of its cars off the track.
