The President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, has stated that "the entire state is working hard" in the face of the "human tragedy" caused by the train accident in Urda, Toledo.

Following the CECOPI meeting and the announcement by the President of Castilla-La Mancha that the death toll has risen from 68 to 69, Sánchez explained that work is being done on three aspects: assistance to victims, clarification of causes and "material compensation" to victims.

In this regard, it has addressed the public to say that "all institutions are working day and night to provide care for the victims, clarify what happened and strengthen security".

He also appreciated the coordination of the institutions and the work of the emergency services.

At least 10 people die in a train crash in Toledo

The accident occurred just off Urda Station, minutes before 9 a.m., when a train from Renfe crashed into an Iryo train that was standing, and dozens of people were also injured, so the death toll is likely to rise.
