At least 30 people were killed and 80 injured in a high-speed train crash in central Spain, according to regional president of Castilla La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page. The accident involved a train from Spain's state-owned RENFE company and the private rail company IRYO. The death toll is expected to rise as rescue workers search for survivors and bodies in the wreckage. The cause of the crash, which occurred in a flat stretch surrounded by olive fields, left one car shredded into bits of metal and other material, scattering debris down a gravel slope. Rail service was suspended between Madrid, Ciudad Real and Andalusia, while Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez canceled his agenda to focus on the crash.
