Spain: Over 20 killed after high-speed trains collide; videos show passengers crawling out of windows


Spain: Over 20 killed after high-speed trains collide; videos show passengers crawling out of windows

At least 21 people were killed, and a dozen others were injured after a high-speed train derailed and collided with an oncoming train on Sunday evening in southern Spain.Passengers reportedly used emergency hammers to break windows, and some were able to walk away without serious injuries. Videos shared by people at the scene showed passengers crawling out through windows to escape the wreckage, with several carriages left leaning at an angle. Witnesses described the collision as feeling like an earthquake, with some passengers also reporting smoke inside the carriages and requiring medical attention, Euro News reported.The tail end of the Malaga–Madrid service carrying around 300 passengers went off the rails near Cordoba at about 7.45 pm (local time), crossed onto the opposite track and slammed into a Madrid–Huelva train with approximately 200 passengers onboard, according to rail operator ADIF. Spain’s Transport Minister Oscar Puente confirmed the casualties as rescue operations continued at the site. Puente said the death toll could rise as authorities work to confirm additional victims.The hospitals of the Community of Madrid and the 112 emergency teams are on standby following the tragic accident in Cordoba and are at the disposal of the Andalusian Regional Government,” said Madrid’s regional president, Isabel Diaz Ayuso. Andalusia’s regional health chief, Antonio Sanz, said 73 injured passengers were taken to six different hospitals. The crash occurred in the early evening, and hundreds of survivors had to be rescued in the dark.Puente said the cause of the crash remained unknown, describing it as “a truly strange” incident as it occurred on a flat stretch of track that had been renovated in May, as cited by AP.He added the rear section of the first train derailed and struck the front of the oncoming service, forcing its first two carriages off the track and down a four-metre slope. He said the most severe damage was sustained by the front section of the Renfe train.Asked about the timeline for determining the cause of the crash, Puente said the investigation could take up to a month.Francisco Carmona, the fire chief of Cordoba, told Spanish national radio RNE that one of the trains was badly mangled, with at least four wagons off the rails.Spain’s military emergency relief units were deployed alongside other rescue teams, while the Red Cross provided support to healthcare officials.Regional civil protection chief María Belén Moya Rojas said residents brought blankets and water to the scene to help the victims.European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a post on X that she was following “the terrible news” from Cordoba.ADIF said that all train services running between Madrid and Andalusia have been suspended till further notice.

Babar Azam flops again as BBL nightmare deepens, proving Steve Smith’s call spot on | Cricket News

Babar Azam’s difficult run in the 2025–26 Big Bash League showed no signs of easing as the Pakistan star endured another low return in Sydney Sixers’ must-win clash against Brisbane Heat at the Gabba on Sunday, January 18. Opening the batting once again alongside Steve Smith, Babar struggled from the outset while chasing a target of 172. On a surface offering early movement, he looked short of rhythm and confidence, managing just one run from seven deliveries before edging Australian quick Xavier Bartlett in the second over. It was another early exit that summed up his tournament so far.

The making of Cooper Connolly: Australia’s 22-year-old star

The innings came in the shadow of the controversy from Sixers’ previous match against Sydney Thunder, where Babar’s approach at the top had drawn criticism despite the team winning by five wickets. In that game, Smith blazed his way to a 41-ball century as the pair added 141 for the first wicket. Babar, however, scored 47 off 39 balls, with his strike rate becoming a talking point. Tension was visible during that partnership when, in the 11th over, Smith turned down a single after Babar had played three consecutive dot balls. Keen to take charge during the Power Surge, Smith kept the strike and made the decision count by smashing 32 runs off Ryan Hadley in the next over, the most runs ever scored in a single over in the league’s 15-year history. Babar appeared unhappy at the time and, after being dismissed off the very next ball he faced, walked back angrily, striking the boundary cushion with his bat. Sunday’s failure did little to strengthen Babar’s case. His numbers across the tournament paint a worrying picture. From 10 matches, he has scored 202 runs at an average of 25.26 and a strike rate of 104.12. Among batters who have faced at least 100 balls this season, only Cameron Bancroft and Mohammad Rizwan have scored at a slower rate. Despite Babar’s struggles, the Sixers got the job done. Brisbane Heat posted 171 for 9 after being sent in, with Nathan McSweeney top-scoring with an unbeaten 69 off 54 balls. Mitchell Starc led the bowling effort for Sydney with an impressive four-wicket haul, while Sam Curran chipped in with two wickets. In the chase, Steve Smith steadied the innings with 54 off 40 balls, before Sam Curran produced a match-winning unbeaten 53 off 27 deliveries. The Sixers reached the target in 18.4 overs to seal a five-wicket win, with Curran named Player of the Match. The victory booked Sydney Sixers a place in the first qualifier against Perth Scorchers at Perth Stadium on January 20. For Babar Azam, though, questions around form and tempo in the Big Bash League continue to grow.
