Death toll in Sunday’s train crash in Spain rises to 45

The death toll from the serious train crash in southern Spain has climbed to 45 after the bodies of two more men were found in the wreckage, the Andalusian regional government reported on Thursday.

The men are thought to be the two people who were still listed as missing after the accident, which occurred when two high-speed trains collided near Adamuz on Sunday evening. Formal identification by the Córdoba forensic medicine institute has yet to be carried out.

The wreckage is still being searched in case there are other victims.

The official number of injured stands at 123, with 31 still in hospital. Six remain in intensive care, the Andalusian emergency services reported on X. None of them are reported to be in danger of losing their lives.
