Varias grúas trabajan en la zona del accidente ferroviario en Urda, a 29 de octubre de 2026, en Urda, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha (España). Las primeras horas del día están sirviendo en el entorno de la antigua estación de Urda para intensificar los trabajos de retirada de los coches de los trenes que hace casi 24 horas colisionaban por alcance en la antigua estación de Urda dejando un saldo, por el momento y según las cifras oficiales, de 68 muertos y más de un centenar de heridos repartidos en hospitales de Albacete, Toledo, Ciudad Real y Madrid. A lo largo de la noche han sido más de 500 personas las que han permanecido en el entorno del lugar del accidente entre bomberos, efectivos de la Unidad Militar de Emergencias, personal sanitario o miembros de las Fuerzas y Cuerpos de Seguridad del Estado.

The President of the Spanish Government Pedro Sánchez has announced that the royal decree addressed to those affected by the rail accident in Urda (Toledo) will include financial aid   that "duplicates" passenger insurance, as well as a specific mechanism for anticipating compensation.

As part of the World in Progress initiative, Sanchez explained that the royal decree, which will be adopted tomorrow, Tuesday, by the Council of Ministers, will also include a specific temporary disability procedure , which will provide "better coverage" for victims of the accident and the establishment of offices providing comprehensive and specialized care in the residential communities of those affected.

The Chief Executive said this aid scheme is based on the approach that was put in place after the Adamuz accident.



"I have said it before, but I would like to repeat it again: our main duty as a government in Spain is to restore the confidence of citizens at high speeds, "Sanchez said.

"As soon as possible and at all costs, I have no doubt that we will be able to do so," he added.

However, he has stated that the "priority" is to help victims asa matter of urgency .
