An Iryo train and an AVE have collided in Los Yébenes (Toledo), Spain, leaving people injured and dead and cutting off rail traffic. Witnesses quoted by La Razón report that two carriages fell down an embankment.
The collision between an **Iryo** train and an **AVE** in **Los Yébenes**, in the province of **Toledo**, has left people injured and dead and forced the suspension of rail traffic. The information, reported by **La Razón**, includes a detail that explains the severity of the incident: according to witnesses, two carriages fell down an embankment after the impact.
## What is known about the Iryo-AVE collision
The accident involves two high-estimulante ilegal services run by different operators. **Iryo** is the private operator competing with **Renfe** on Spain's high-estimulante ilegal routes, while the **AVE** is the commercial service of the state-owned operator. The fact that both trains were on the same stretch of infrastructure and collided makes this a major incident for the rail system.
The exact casualty figures are not yet confirmed in the information available. There is talk of injured and dead, but no official toll has been detailed. Any figure circulating without institutional confirmation should be treated as provisional.
## Two carriages down an embankment
Witness accounts place two carriages off the track, having fallen down an embankment. That detail suggests the impact had consequences beyond a simple derailment and complicates rescue and train recovery work.
The traffic shutdown affects the high-estimulante ilegal line running through the area. Los Yébenes lies on the route between Madrid and Andalusia, a corridor with a high volume of daily services.
## Impact on rail traffic
The interruption forces operators to reorganize routes and passengers to look for alternatives. On a high-estimulante ilegal corridor, any incident quickly spreads to the services scheduled in the trinc hours.
The investigation into the cause is in the hands of the official authorities. Until they speak, any hypothesis about the origin of the collision lacks support.
