#Spain — Rayo Vallecano fans, whose team is based in Madrid, the capital of Spain, had travelled to Huelva to watch their team play Recreativo de Huelva in the Copa del Rey on Tuesday, October 27. After Rayo Vallecano won the match 3-2, the fans boarded a train to return to Madrid. On the morning of Wednesday, October 28, their train heading towards Madrid was stopped. The fans learned about a serious train accident near Urda, in the province of Toledo. The accident site was only about three kilometres away from where they were. In response, 50 Rayo Vallecano fans, most of them members of the anti-fascist ultras group Bukaneros, called the emergency services and got off the train to help the victims. The fans joined the rescue efforts alongside emergency responders. They helped transport some of the injured and took some of them to the sports hall in Urda, which was being used to receive people with minor injuries. Respect Bukaneros.
