Filipino confirmed injured in train crash in Toledo, Spain
Civil guards and investigators work at the site of a train crash between a high speed Renfe AVE train and an Iryo train around 150kms south of Madrid between Urda and Los Yebenes in the province of Toledo, on October 28, 2026. Oscar Del Pozo, AFPMANILA — The Philippine Embassy in Spain said a Filipino was among those injured in a train crash near Urda, Toledo in Spain Wednesday.
In a statement, the Embassy said a Filipino national sustained minor injury and was brought to a hospital for treatment.
The Embassy is also seeking reports on other Filipino nationals who might be involved in the accident.
A high-speed train collision south of Madrid killed 64 people and injured scores more on Wednesday, with the toll likely to rise, authorities said.
Some carriages were lying on their side in tangles of metal debris at the bottom of an embankment, while dozens of emergency services vehicles were racing to and from the site.
“We are speaking of approximately 64 (dead), but this is probably going to grow even more,” Castilla-La Mancha’s leader Emiliano Garcia-Page told reporters at the scene, raising a previous toll of 31.
A spokeswoman from the Castilla-La Mancha government told AFP that more than 100 people had been injured. Of them, 58 had been taken to hospital, with 15 in a critical condition.
