Spain’s royal mourning and political fallout follow revised train crash toll
The death toll from the high-speed train collision near Urda, Toledo, has been revised to 69 by Spain’s Railway Accident Investigation Commission, down from the initial 74 reported by the transport ministry. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia visited injured victims in Toledo, cancelling official engagements to observe three days of national mourning. The disaster has intensified political tensions ahead of a snap election, with opposition parties demanding accountability for systemic rail safety failures.
