The remains of 65 of the 69 people killed in the Urda (Toledo) rail crash have been handed over to their families, according to a statement from the Centro Integrado de Datos (CID), the integrated data center handling the victims' information, released on Wednesday afternoon and reported by EFE. All 69 victims have been identified: 54 are Spanish nationals and 15 are foreign, from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Czechia, the United States, France, Japan, Mexico, Portugal and Tunisia, according to the same statement. The sources do not explain when the remaining four will be handed over.
As of this Thursday, 20 injured people remain hospitalized in four hospitals, four of them in intensive care (three in Toledo and one in Ciudad Real), and all are stable, according to data updated in the morning by the Castilla-La Mancha Health Service (SESCAM) and reported by elDiario.es. Of the 110 people initially hospitalized, 90 have been discharged.
The October 28 collision between a Renfe AVE high-speed train and an Iryo train near Urda killed 69 people, 40 men and 29 women, according to the CID's provisional count. The causes remain under judicial and technical investigation, and on November 12 a funeral Mass will be held at Toledo Cathedral, which the King and Queen will attend.
This story stands on its own facts. The Post Apocalyptic does not link it to other incidents unless the sources demonstrate a connection.
