"It has been terrible": the account of the passengers of the train crash in Toledo

BarcelonaAt least 10 people have died in the collision between two high-speed trains that took place this morning in Urda, in Toledo. The impact was "frightening," explained to Catalunya Ràdio Miguel Ángel Pérez Laguna, one of the passengers of the AVE train involved in the accident in Toledo. He was traveling in the last carriage and recounted that they felt a "gigantic blow" when they had been traveling for about 45 or 50 minutes after leaving the station, "as if the train were going off the tracks." After the crash, he heard screams and saw a wrecked Iryo train next to them. "We tried to get out through the windows and the doors," he explained.

The passenger stated that there were people with contusions and warned that there were deaths. "It was terrible, a frightening blow," he summarized. The accident, between a Renfe AVE train and an Iryo train that was stopped on the tracks, has caused at least ten fatalities, a figure that authorities expect to rise.
