Train crash in Spain kills dozens
The incident, which occurred on Sunday evening, has also left over 150 people injured
At least 39 people have died after two high-speed trains collided in southern Spain on 18 January.
The Malaga–Madrid train derailed on a straight stretch of track near Adamuz, northeast of Cordoba, before being hit head-on by another train travelling at 200km/h in the other direction, on its way from Madrid to Huelva.
The incident occurred at around 7:40pm local time, with approximately 400 people on board both trains.
As well as those killed, at least 159 people were injured – of whom 48 remain hospitalised, and 15 remain in a serious condition as of Monday morning.
The cause of the derailment is currently unknown – the stretch of track where the incident occurred had been completely renovated last May, while the train that first derailed had been inspected just four days beforehand.
A derailment on Lisbon’s Gloria tramway killed a number of tourists last year.
