39 Dead, Dozens Injured in High-Speed Train Collision in Spain: Investigation Underway
The cause of the train derailment in Spain is under investigation, though the incident occurred on a recently renovated flat track. The accident involved a train from the private company Iryo and a train from Spain’s public train company, Renfe, with the first train derailing and crashing into the second. The back of the first train hit the head of the second train, leading to severe damage. Emergency protocols were activated, and initial reports indicate passengers used emergency hammers to escape the derailed trains, with some sustaining injuries.
