According to the Spanish Data Integration Centre (CID ) , 56of the 69 people killed in the rail accident on Wednesday in Urda, Toledo, have been identified. The majority (54) are of Spanish nationality and two are foreigners (one French  and one Portuguese).

The remaining 13 IDs will be made "in the next few hours" and there are suspicions that they are all foreigners , so international cooperation will be required to carry them out.
