Authorities in Spain and Turkey are investigating a series of major transport accidents. In Spain, at least 64 people lost their lives when two high-speed passenger trains collided near Los Yebenes in Toledo province along the Madrid-Seville rail route, causing two carriages to derail down an embankment.

Meanwhile, several serious traffic collisions occurred across Turkey. A head-on crash between two cars in Ankara's Polatlı district killed three people and left four injured. In Isparta's Keçiborlu district, a minibus carrying seasonal agricultural workers struck a freight truck from behind, injuring 17 workers. A separate freight vehicle collision resulted in one fatality and three injuries. Emergency services responded across all sites, and law enforcement agencies have initiated inquiries to determine the causes.
