西班牙中部发生严重的高速列车相撞事故，造成至少68人遇难及数十人受伤 1。这起悲剧发生在周三上午09:00左右（格林尼治标准时间08:00），地点位于马德里以南约140公里处 1。涉事的两列列车分别为处于静止状态的Iryo公司列车和行驶中的Renfe公司列车，前者载有147名乘客，后者载有397名乘客 1。
关于事故成因，西班牙运输部长Óscar Puente指出，起因是一列因计算机故障停驶的Iryo列车被后方Renfe列车追尾 1。Puente进一步解释称，在系统发生故障后，控制中心做出了一个“无法解释”的决定，允许该列车恢复行驶且未进行限速，这一人为失误导致了灾难的发生 1。此次事故是西班牙自2013年圣地亚哥-德孔波斯特拉事故（造成80人死亡）以来最严重的铁路灾难，也被视为欧洲现代史上重大的交通事故之一 1。
事故发生后，西班牙首相Pedro Sánchez发表声明，将一年内发生两起严重高铁事故的情况形容为“不可接受”，并承诺对事件展开彻底调查 1。与此同时，工会CSIF要求运输部长辞职，指责其试图将责任推卸给交通管理人员 1。这一系列反应引发了公众对基础设施安全性的广泛质疑以及政治层面的问责呼声 1。
At least 68 people died and dozens were injured after a high-speed train collision occurred on Wednesday morning around 09:00 GMT, approximately 140 kilometers south of Madrid. 1 The incident involved an Iryo train carrying 147 passengers that had stopped due to a computer failure, which was then struck by a moving Renfe train carrying 397 passengers. 1 This disaster marks the most severe railway accident in Spain since the 2013 Santiago de Compostela crash, which claimed 80 lives. 1
Spanish Transport Minister Óscar Puente attributed the collision to human error following a system malfunction, specifically citing an "inexplicable" decision by control centers to allow the stationary train to resume movement without imposing speed restrictions. 1 Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez condemned the occurrence as "unacceptable," noting that Spain has suffered two serious high-speed rail accidents within a single year, and pledged a thorough investigation into the cause. 1 Amid rising public scrutiny over infrastructure safety, the trade union CSIF demanded the resignation of Transport Minister Puente, accusing him of deflecting responsibility onto traffic management personnel. 1
