        "content": "<p>A horrific collision involving two high-speed trains has occurred in\nSpain. The incident is said to have begun with an unusual instruction\nfrom the rail traffic operator.<\/p>\n<p>ABC News and CNN reported on Thursday (29 October 2026) that Spain\u2019s\nTransport Ministry said the collision took place at about 8.30am local\ntime on Wednesday (28 October), at kilometre 118 near Urda.<\/p>\n<p>The crash involved a Renfe train and an Iryo train, both travelling\nfrom Madrid to Seville.<\/p>\n<p>Spain\u2019s Transport Minister, \u00d3scar Puente, said the accident was\nalmost impossible to believe. He said the initial investigation\nindicated that it had been triggered by an \u2018unexplained\u2019 instruction\nfrom rail traffic control.<\/p>\n<p>The instruction, he said, allowed one of the high-speed trains to\ncontinue travelling even though a safety issue had left another train\nstopped on the same track.<\/p>\n<p>According to Puente, a computer system failure had temporarily\nstopped six trains that were moving, including, he said, the two trains\nthat later collided.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If there is a system failure, the control centre takes over,\u2019 Puente\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the control centre then decided to allow the trains to\nresume their journeys without speed restrictions. Puente said this\ndecision led to the Renfe train striking the Iryo train, which was\nstopped on the track ahead.<\/p>\n<p>The Renfe train was reportedly travelling at 124 miles per hour, or\nabout 200 kilometres per hour, when it hit the stationary Iryo train.\nThe collision killed 68 people.<\/p>",
