Spain\u2019s Guardia Civil said identification of the victims would allow search operations to be formally concluded if they correspond to the final two missing-person reports linked to the crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bodies were found at the bottom of an embankment after several cars of the Alvia train plunged off the tracks during the collision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities said 43 victims have already been identified following autopsies completed late Wednesday by the C\u00f3rdoba Institute of Legal Medicine, and 40 bodies have been released to families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the victims were Spanish nationals. Three were foreign citizens from Morocco, Russia and Germany, and one case involves a minor, officials said. Of the 45 dead, 22 were women and 23 were men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thirty-nine of the victims were traveling on the Alvia train operating between Madrid and Huelva. The remaining six were aboard an Iryo high-speed train traveling from M\u00e1laga to Madrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of 123 people were injured in the crash, according to Spanish public broadcaster <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtve.es\/noticias\/20260122\/asciende-a-45-numero-fallecidos-accidente-tren-adamuz-tras-recuperarse-dos-cuerpos\/16905734.shtml\">RTVE<\/a>. Several remain hospitalized, including patients in serious condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collision occurred Sunday evening when the Iryo train derailed near a set of track switches and entered an adjacent line, striking the Alvia train operated by Spain\u2019s state rail company Renfe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spain\u2019s transport ministry has said investigators are examining all possible causes, including rail damage found along the line, and are working to determine whether it preceded the derailment or resulted from the impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The death toll from the collision of two high-speed trains in southern Spain has risen to 45, according to Spanish authorities.
