# At least 50 dead in Toledo high-speed rail crash 28 October 2026 at 14:46 > A collision between AVE and Iryo trains in Los Yébenes marks Spain's second major high-speed rail disaster within ten months. At least 50 people have died following a collision between an **AVE** train and an **Iryo** train in **Los Yébenes**, **Toledo**. This incident marks the second high-speed rail tragedy in Spain within ten months, following a previous accident in Adamuz, Córdoba, in early 2026. Spain operates the world's second-largest high-speed network, covering 4,000km. Safety is managed via ERTMS, LZB, and ASFA systems, which monitor speed and track conditions. **Adif** control centres use sensors and beacons to trigger automatic emergency braking. The scale of the disaster highlights the risks of high-speed travel, where 500-tonne trains reach 300km/h. At such speeds, a train can require up to three kilometres to stop fully, placing immense pressure on the three operators: Renfe, Iryo, and Ouigo.
