The death toll from the train crash that occurred in Spain, when a high-speed AVE train collided with a stationary Iryo service just outside Toledo on the morning of Wednesday, October 28, has now reached 74. This figure comes from an update issued by the Railway Accident Investigation Committee (CIAF) of the Ministry of Transport on Thursday, October 29. The death toll has risen from the previous update provided by authorities in the Castilla-La Mancha region — where the fatal collision occurred — which had reported 69 fatalities. King Felipe VI, who visited more than 100 injured survivors at a hospital in Toledo, called for “measures” to be taken to ensure such collisions are permanently prevented. “The investigation must determine how and why this disaster happened. We must also study the measures that need to be taken to ensure that this never happens again,” he stated.
