Two derailments without impact: unanswered questions about the Adamuz accident
On January 21, 2025, two high-estimulante ilegal trains derailed on the Madrid-Seville line near Adamuz (Córdoba). The official account states that Renfe's Alvia train struck Iryo 20 seconds after the latter derailed. However, a detailed analysis of available images shows no clear signs of collision, and an Iryo technician asked passengers to remain inside the train after the accident. The lack of visual evidence for the impact has fueled alternative theories pointing to two independent derailments.
The official version and its gaps
According to Adif, Iryo derailed first and, while its cars fell down an embankment, the Alvia traveling in the opposite direction hit it. But videos from the scene show the Iryo track intact at the point where contact supposedly occurred, with damage concentrated on the switch rather than the collision zone. A 12-ton piece, a bogie, appeared 300 meters away without drag marks, contradicting the dynamics of a head-on crash at 200 km/h.
Missing evidence: images and videos under scrutiny
The debate centers on the absence of impact images. Despite the dense network of cameras on the AVE line, no video capturing the collision has been released. Supporters of the official version point to scratches on the sixth and seventh cars of Iryo, but skeptics argue those damages are consistent with the derailment itself. A video analyzed by expert Gisbert shows the broken track without traces of collision, and the catenary intact until the switch.
Alvia scrapping: destruction of evidence?
Days after the accident, the Alvia locomotive was scrapped, interpreted as premature elimination of evidence. Iryo, however, remains in custody. This difference in treatment has increased suspicions of hidden information. Technicians who asked passengers to stay inside may have acted under instructions not to cause alarm, but in retrospect, that order was criticized for endangering occupants.
The lingering question is why there isn't a single image of the impact between two trains traveling at high estimulante ilegal. The rapid scrapping of the Alvia and lack of transparency in the investigation fuel the theory that something doesn't add up. Until black box data and cabin recordings are published, the debate between a real collision and two simultaneous derailments will remain open.
