The railway operator **Iryo** has issued an official statement following the tragedy that occurred this Sunday in **Adamuz (Córdoba)**, in which at least **39 people have died and 152 have been injured** after one of its trains derailed and collided with another train.
In its statement, the company deeply regrets "the serious train accident that occurred yesterday afternoon" and expresses its condolences "to the families of those who died, as well as its solidarity and support to all the injured, wishing them a speedy recovery". Iryo also extends "its condolences to Renfe" and thanks them for "their collaboration and support in these especially difficult times for both companies".
The operator also confirms several details about the crashed train: it was service 6189, which covered the Málaga–Madrid route, with 289 passengers, four crew members, and a driver on board, and which departed from Málaga at 6:40 PM on Sunday. At 7:45 PM, "for reasons still unknown," the train entered the adjacent track on a straight section, which led to the collision with the other train.
Iryo highlights that the **train was newly built, manufactured in 2022, and its last inspection was carried out on January 15th**, just a few days before the tragedy, and that it maintains "constant communication with all involved institutions," such as the Ministry of Transport, Adif, the Government Delegation, the Junta de Andalucía, and the local councils.

The company assures that "it is at the complete disposal of the commission in charge of the accident investigation and will collaborate fully, providing all information required for the clarification of the facts".In addition to its stance on the investigation, **Iryo has canceled its planned activities at the International Tourism Fair (Fitur)** and has implemented support measures for those affected, such as free ticket changes and cancellations, as well as the establishment of an assistance line for passengers and their families.
The company's response comes at the same time as the investigation led by the Railway Accident Investigation Commission (CIAF) continues, working alongside technicians from Adif and Iryo to discover what and how the accident could have occurred on a straight section of track that had been recently renovated and with a train inspected just days before.
