train disaster near Adamuz<\/a>, in C\u00f3rdoba province. Following Wednesday\u2019s crash, authorities have suspended that high-speed line linking the Madrid region with Andalusia.\n <\/p>\n\n Both train accidents also involved the collision of two high-speed trains, although one of the trains on Wednesday was not travelling at high speed at the time of the crash.\n <\/p>\n
\n Spanish emergency authorities have not yet announced a precise cause of Wednesday\u2019s crash, but they have disclosed some details. The local Castilla-La Mancha 112 emergency services told CNN they received a report of a collision at 8.45 a.m. local time. According to the reports, a train owned by the company Iryo was stationary or traveling at low speed when it was struck by a high-speed AVE train operated by Spain\u2019s national railway company Renfe.\n <\/p>\n
\n It appears the crash on Wednesday was a rear-end collision, authorities at the scene told CNN. The train crash earlier this year involved one train derailing and crossing onto an adjacent track, according to Spain\u2019s public broadcaster RTVE.\n <\/p>\n
\n For context: Spain\u2019s train drivers\u2019 union, Semaf, has previously raised concerns about high speeds causing vibrations and subsequent wear and tear along high-speed railway lines, a source from the union told CNN in January, in the aftermath of the crash near Adamuz.\n <\/p>\n
\n In August 2025, the union sent a letter to the national railway operator, Adif, asking for a reduction in the maximum speed on all high-speed train lines from 300 kmph to 250 kmph, after some stretches were vibrating and placing stress on the infrastructure, the source said.\n <\/p>\n
