Adamuz, Spain - January 19, 2026 Guardia Civil specialists from the Cinological Service are working relentlessly at the site of the Adamuz railway accident in Córdoba on January 19, 2026. Teams focus on collecting evidence and identifying victims amid one of Spain’s deadliest train crashes in recent memory. The confirmed death toll has risen to at least 42 after another body was recovered. Thirty-nine people remain hospitalized, including 13 in intensive care, while authorities caution that fatalities could increase. Investigators are concentrating on a worn rail joint discovered at the scene, which may have caused one high-speed train to derail and collide with another. Rescue crews face difficult conditions, employing a colossal crane to lift derailed wagons. Forensic teams meticulously mark, photograph, and secure evidence, while the Guardia Civil immobilizes critical train cars for examination. Álvaro Fernández Heredia, president of Renfe, stated that the derailment was not caused by human error or excessive speed, citing “extraordinary conditions” at the site. King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia visited Adamuz to express solidarity with victims and meet with families, offering support as emergency teams continue their work.
