Castilla-La Mancha's regional government later put the death toll at 64 after two high-speed trains collided in Toledo province. [S1][S3][S4]
An earlier AP report published by Al Jazeera said at least 30 people had died and warned that the toll could rise. [S2]
The 30-versus-64 discrepancy reflects an earlier count followed by a later official update, rather than an unresolved current toll in the supplied reporting. [S1][S2][S3][S4]
Verification result: verified, because 0 of 350 weighted material-claim points are contradicted, and multiple independent reporting families support the earlier-to-later chronology. [S1][S2][S3][S5]
The reports say the trains were travelling in the same direction when one hit the rear of the stopped train, knocking two carriages off the track. [S1][S4]
At least 80 people were injured or treated, and the reported passenger figures put more than 500 people aboard the two trains. [S2][S3][S4][S5]
Authorities had not determined the cause of the collision. [S1][S4]
The toll remained provisional because rescue teams were still searching damaged carriages and officials warned that more victims could be found. [S1][S2]
