Cayetano Rivera wrote that, while travelling to Madrid, he wondered how many people in the cars around him had loved ones caught up in the Urda rail crash. The nephew of Curro Vázquez shared a message of support for those affected and their families. The collision took place in Toledo province on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, involving Renfe AVE 2080 and Iryo 6076.
Antonio Vázquez, Curro Vázquez’s brother, was confirmed among the dead. Carlos Quílez reported the news on Y ahora Sonsoles on 29 October. Reports also described Vázquez as Pablo Aguado’s manager and an apoderado, with close ties to the Rivera Ordóñez family.
His relatives had spent hours trying to establish his whereabouts. After being told he had been located at the Hospital Universitario de Toledo, his son Fran went there in person. Vázquez was not at the hospital. The family’s search followed the confusion over missing passengers covered in an earlier report on the crash.
César Vicente also confirmed his father’s death. His father, César Vicente Sanz, was travelling toward Seville on the Renfe AVE; reports identified his seat as 13A in carriage 8. The family could not contact him for more than 24 hours after the collision. Vicente, known for Dolor y Gloria by Pedro Almodóvar and Los Tigres by Alberto Rodríguez, paid tribute to him on social media. Europa Press reported that Vicente wrote of his grief and said he would continue listening to Bambino, recalling their conversations about happiness and the purity of human beings. He also said he would change the world through art and love, and wrote, “Descansa, papá. Te quiero mucho, artista.”
By 30 October, the provisional death toll had reached 69, with more than 100 people injured, many seriously. The Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Castilla-La Mancha said Toledo’s Instituto de Medicina Legal had received all 69 bodies, and that five identifications, three women and two men, had been communicated to families. Authorities also reported that two people had been found alive during the operation.
The mistaken hospital information had left the family uncertain about whether Vázquez was among the seriously injured. Fran said his father’s name appeared in the database, but hospital staff and the Guardia Civil could not tell the family where he was. The prolonged identification process also affected Vicente’s family, which had details of his father’s carriage and seat but still spent more than a day without confirmation.
