​

At least 39 people were confirmed dead after two high-speed trains collided near the city of Cordoba in southern Spain on Sunday, reported local media.

The accident occurred at around 19:45 local time (1845 GMT) when a train carrying 317 passengers on the Malaga-Madrid route derailed for reasons still unknown near Adamuz, about 20 km from Cordoba, Spanish authorities said.

The derailed train struck another high-speed train traveling on an adjacent track from Madrid to Huelva, causing the latter to derail.

​

Emergency services from the Andalusia region were deployed to the scene, and residents helped transfer passengers with minor injuries to a nearby sports center for first aid. Spain's Military Emergency Unit was also mobilized to assist in rescue work.

Rail services on the affected lines will be suspended until at least Tuesday, local authorities said.

Some men who died in the accident: (The last three ones are still missing, but probably dead, because there are still unidentified people trapped under and between the train remains.)
