An accident involving two high-speed trains at Urda station in Toledo on Wednesday 28 October prompts Spain’s government to cancel events. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will not attend a world summit on obesity in Madrid, where he was due to give the closing address.
Ministers have also begun cancelling engagements for the day, officials at the prime minister’s office told Europa Press. Sánchez describes the accident as serious and says he is distressed. He has offered his support to the victims and their families, and says he is in constant contact with Transport Minister Óscar Puente and the president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page.
