اِصْطَدَمَ قِطَارَانِ سَرِيعَانِ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ، ٢٨ أُكْتُوبَرَ ٢٠٢٦، فِي مُقَاطَعَةِ طُولِيدُو فِي إِسْبَانْيَا. وَقَعَ الْحَادِثُ قُرْبَ بَلْدَةِ أُورْدَا، عَلَى خَطِّ الْقِطَارِ بَيْنَ مَدْرِيدَ وَإِشْبِيلِيَةَ.

كَانَ أَحَدُ الْقِطَارَيْنِ مُتَوَقِّفًا عَلَى الْخَطِّ، فَاصْطَدَمَ بِهِ الْقِطَارُ الْآخَرُ. وَقَالَتِ السُّلُطَاتُ إِنَّ ٦٨ شَخْصًا عَلَى الْأَقَلِّ مَاتُوا، وَأُصِيبَ عَشَرَاتٌ. وَنَقَلَتْ فِرَقُ الْإِنْقَاذِ الْمُصَابِينَ إِلَى الْمُسْتَشْفَيَاتِ.

وَأَعْلَنَ رَئِيسُ الْحُكُومَةِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مِنَ الْحِدَادِ فِي الْبِلَادِ. وَبَدَأَتِ السُّلُطَاتُ تَحْقِيقًا لِمَعْرِفَةِ سَبَبِ الْحَادِثِ. وَأَوْقَفَتِ الْجِهَاتُ الْمَسْؤُولَةُ حَرَكَةَ الْقِطَارَاتِ عَلَى بَعْضِ الْخُطُوطِ.
