White smoke rises from mangled wreckage just beyond the train window. The person filming turns toward the aisle, where passengers stand or remain seated, then points the camera outside again.

The recording, published by Spain's newspaper EL PAÍS and credited to Capital Radio, captures the immediate aftermath of Wednesday morning's high-speed train collision between Los Yébenes and Urda, in Toledo province in central Spain. No passengers are identified in the clip.

According to the accompanying report, the collision involved a Renfe train and an Iryo train, injured several people and sent two carriages down an embankment. This early footage does not establish a full casualty count or explain what caused the crash.

Renfe is Spain's state-owned train operator; Adif manages railway infrastructure, including tracks and signaling. The report says Adif suspended services on the Madrid-Andalusia high-speed line while emergency teams worked at the scene. The operators offered affected travelers free ticket changes and cancellations.
