At Least 10 Killed as Two Trains Collide in Spain, Officials Say
Two trains collided in Spain, and officials say at least 10 people died. Early reports say one train struck the back of the other, sending two carriages down an embankment.
A rail crash in Spain has left at least 10 people dead after two trains collided, according to officials cited by The New York Times. The toll is an early figure and may change as more information emerges, and a crash of this scale is likely to raise questions about rail safety in the country.
What is known about the crash
Initial reports say one train rear-ended the other. The force of the impact reportedly sent two carriages down an embankment beside the track.
What remains unclear
The information available so far does not say how many people were injured, how many passengers were aboard the trains, or what caused the collision. The death toll is also not final, since officials describe it only as "at least" 10. The source does not describe the progress of any investigation.
Because the report is preliminary, details may be updated or corrected once rescue services and the rail operators provide a fuller account of what happened.
