New Facts: Death Toll Rises After Adamuz Derailment
The death toll rose to at least 40 by Monday, as crews kept searching the wreckage near Adamuz. Some bodies had been found hundreds of meters from the tracks. Families of the missing were asked to give DNA samples to help identify victims.
All survivors were freed by early morning. By late afternoon, 41 people remained in hospital, 12 in intensive care, and 81 had been treated and discharged. The Civil Guard opened help points for relatives in Córdoba, Madrid, Málaga, Huelva and Seville.
Most of the fatalities were in the front of the oncoming train. The collision knocked its first two carriages off the track and down a four meter slope. Recovery teams were still working inside those carriages on Monday.
