Spain has begun 3 days of national mourning after a train collision killed at least 68 people and injured dozens on Wednesday. The crash occurred near Urda in Toledo when a Renfe high-speed train struck a stationary Iryo train carrying 147 passengers. The Renfe train had 397 passengers on board, and several carriages fell down an embankment after the impact. Emergency teams worked overnight to recover victims and identify the dead. Authorities are investigating the cause, including reports of a system failure and a decision to allow trains to move. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez expressed condolences to grieving families.
