At least 21 killed in Spain in high-speed train collision
TheWkly Analysis
At least 21 killed in Spain in high-speed train collision. The end of a passenger train traveling from Malaga to Madrid went off the rails near Córdoba on Sunday night, striking a train traveling in the opposite direction that had 200 passengers aboard. The latter train took the brunt of the impact. Spain’s transport minister confirmed last night that all survivors had been removed from the wreckage, but more victims might yet be found. The Associated Press reported that 75 injured passengers were taken to a local hospital, including 15 in critical condition. The train that jumped the track was about four years old, and the accident occurred on a flat piece of ground and track that had been renovated in May, leading the transport minister to call the tragedy “truly strange.”
