Spain faces fresh concerns about rail safety after a second high-speed train crash this year killed 68 people.

At least 50 people were killed and many others injured when two high-speed trains collided in central Spain near Toledo, south of Madrid, on Wednesday morning, Spanish authorities said, as rescue operations continued and officials warned that the death toll could rise. Local media reported that 46 people had died, citing emergency services, although that figure had not been confirmed.

King Felipe has declared two days of national mourning for those killed in the high speed train crash which took place in Spain on the morning of October 28.

Two high-speed trains carrying hundreds of passengers collided south of Madrid. Spain's transport minister said one of the trains was told to continue its journey despite a "red signal" being in effect.

Hundreds protested outside Spain’s Transport Ministry, demanding Óscar Puente’s resignation. The demonstration sharpened scrutiny of railway safety after the deadly Urda collision.
