Spain's Minister of Transport and Sustainable Mobility Óscar Puente said he is monitoring the situation.
Puente wrote in a post on social media platform X: "I've been at the 24-hour centre of ADIF for half an hour now, following the information on the serious train accident in Adamuz (Córdoba)."
In a seperate post, Puente wrote: "The latest information coming in is very serious. The last units of the Iryo train heading toward Madrid have derailed, with those cars invading the opposite track where, at that moment, a Renfe train heading toward Huelva was traveling."
"The impact has been terrible, causing the first two units of the Renfe train to be thrown off as a result. The number of victims cannot be confirmed at this time. The fundamental priority now is to assist the victims."
