The secondary Renfe train was knocked off its axis, plunging into a nearby ditch. Between the two vessels, four hundred passengers were caught in the wreckage. On Monday morning, local authorities confirmed that 122 people had been treated for injuries, with 48 victims\u2014including five children\u2014still hospitalized. Twelve people, including one child, remain in critical condition in intensive care units.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5917\" src=\"https:\/\/allmyvista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2256471833-scaled-1.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allmyvista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2256471833-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/allmyvista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2256471833-scaled-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allmyvista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2256471833-scaled-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/allmyvista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2256471833-scaled-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/allmyvista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2256471833-scaled-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/allmyvista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2256471833-scaled-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/allmyvista.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2256471833-scaled-1-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"3\">\u201cLike an Earthquake\u201d<\/h3>\n<div class=\"google-auto-placed ap_container\"><ins class=\"adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-7018051756059581\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" data-ad-status=\"unfilled\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"aswift_2_host\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"aswift_2\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Advertisement\" src=\"https:\/\/googleads.g.doubleclick.net\/pagead\/ads?gdpr=0&amp;us_privacy=1---&amp;gpp_sid=-1&amp;client=ca-pub-7018051756059581&amp;output=html&amp;h=280&amp;adk=1523396147&amp;adf=3016292871&amp;w=622&amp;fwrn=4&amp;fwrnh=100&amp;lmt=1768857632&amp;rafmt=1&amp;armr=3&amp;sem=mc&amp;pwprc=2748141949&amp;ad_type=text_image&amp;format=622x280&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fallmyvista.com%2F2026%2F01%2F19%2Fat-least-39-dead-and-dozens-injured-in-high-speed-train-crash-in-spain-as-witnesses-describe-horror%2F&amp;fwr=0&amp;pra=3&amp;rh=156&amp;rw=622&amp;rpe=1&amp;resp_fmts=3&amp;aieuf=1&amp;aicrs=1&amp;fa=27&amp;uach=WyJXaW5kb3dzIiwiMTAuMC4wIiwieDg2IiwiIiwiMTQ0LjAuNzU1OS41OSIsbnVsbCwwLG51bGwsIjY0IixbWyJOb3QoQTpCcmFuZCIsIjguMC4wLjAiXSxbIkNocm9taXVtIiwiMTQ0LjAuNzU1OS41OSJdLFsiR29vZ2xlIENocm9tZSIsIjE0NC4wLjc1NTkuNTkiXV0sMF0.&amp;abgtt=6&amp;dt=1768857632466&amp;bpp=1&amp;bdt=508&amp;idt=-M&amp;shv=r20260115&amp;mjsv=m202601130101&amp;ptt=9&amp;saldr=aa&amp;abxe=1&amp;cookie=ID%3D45ad3d30273e06b5%3AT%3D1767547166%3ART%3D1768857633%3AS%3DALNI_MbgjV3RPgTb6S7EbcoKb7N3uXUepA&amp;gpic=UID%3D000012df7ecb9fbb%3AT%3D1767547166%3ART%3D1768857633%3AS%3DALNI_MaPjUNHx_nmH6_Jqj-ZHwJRdHDckg&amp;eo_id_str=ID%3D040aa25c4e9c49c2%3AT%3D1767547166%3ART%3D1768857633%3AS%3DAA-AfjbZARhnSEXPPICbJQ21JR98&amp;prev_fmts=0x0%2C622x280&amp;nras=2&amp;correlator=2436861441352&amp;frm=20&amp;pv=1&amp;u_tz=60&amp;u_his=2&amp;u_h=864&amp;u_w=1536&amp;u_ah=824&amp;u_aw=1536&amp;u_cd=24&amp;u_sd=1.25&amp;dmc=8&amp;adx=527&amp;ady=1881&amp;biw=1521&amp;bih=738&amp;scr_x=0&amp;scr_y=0&amp;eid=31096231%2C95381346%2C95381490%2C42533293&amp;oid=2&amp;pvsid=467587574133063&amp;tmod=1418575397&amp;uas=3&amp;nvt=1&amp;ref=https%3A%2F%2Fallmyvista.com%2F%3Fs%3DAt%2Bleast%2B39%2Bdead%2Band%2Bdozens%2Binjured%2Bin%2Bhigh-speed%2Btrain%2Bcrash%2Bin%2BSpain%2Bas%2Bwitnesses%2Bdescribe%2Bhorror%26fbclid%3DIwY2xjawPbf29leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFIMEJNMkxWcll2Y2ZpUmcwc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHu5xyKM3s8SJEzHumJtvzBOtvyCsh1EM08LKoeuNvwuK0HqTrXHnhe0qsFsU_aem_hPFk6PgM9gAwJF-M6QapTw&amp;fc=1408&amp;brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C1536%2C0%2C1536%2C824%2C1536%2C738&amp;vis=1&amp;rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&amp;abl=NS&amp;fu=128&amp;bc=31&amp;bz=1&amp;pgls=CAEaAzYuOQ..&amp;num_ads=1&amp;ifi=3&amp;uci=a!3&amp;btvi=2&amp;fsb=1&amp;dtd=221\" name=\"aswift_2\" width=\"622\" height=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" data-google-container-id=\"a!3\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-query-id=\"CL2ytZfEmJIDFUsAVQgd_8sjAA\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/div>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Harrowing survivor accounts have begun to emerge as rescue crews work tirelessly around the clock.
