At least 21 people have been confirmed dead and more than 100 injured after two high-speed trains derailed near Adamuz in Córdoba on Sunday evening.

An Iryo service travelling from Málaga to Madrid derailed at around 7:45 pm and crossed onto the adjacent track, colliding with a second train bound for Huelva.

Guardia Civil and emergency services report 10 confirmed fatalities and well over 100 passengers injured, including at least 25 seriously, while a number of people were initially reported trapped as rescue operations continued.

High-speed rail services between Madrid and Andalucía have been suspended and regional authorities have deployed intensive care units and critical support teams to the scene.
