Spain's high-speed rail crash toll climbs to at least 40

At least 40 people were killed when the tail of a high-speed train derailed and collided with an oncoming train near Adamuz in Andalusia; 41 hospitalized (12 in ICU) and 81 discharged, as DNA identification helps authorities identify victims. Spain's prime minister declared three days of national mourning, and rescue efforts continued amid service disruptions on Madrid–Andalusia routes. The cause is unknown and could take a month to determine; the trains were within the 250 kph limit on a track renovated in May, involving Renfe and the private Iryo.
