The number of dead in Sunday's train accident in Spain has surged to at least 39, reports the newspaper El Pa\u00eds. \u201dThis is an evening of deep sorrow for our country,\u201d writes Spanish Prime Minister Pedro S\u00e1nchez on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The accident happened in Adamuz when a train derailed and collided with an oncoming train on an adjacent track. The rear carriages of the first train are reported to have struck the second train, which then also derailed. The incident occurred at approximately 7:45 PM local time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around 300 travellers are believed to have been on one of the trains, and approximately 100 on the other. Overnight into Monday, Spanish authorities reported that emergency services had managed to get all injured persons out of the two trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is unclear what <\/strong>The incident was caused and Transport Minister Oscar Puente calls the accident \u201dstrange\u201d because it occurred on a flat stretch that was renovated as recently as May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eyewitnesses at the scene shortly after the accident reported passengers on board being seriously injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201dWe have received calls from people saying there are travellers on board who are injured and trapped,\u201d a spokesperson for Andalusian emergency services said during the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The train accident occurred on the main line between Madrid and M\u00e1laga in Andalusia. The Spanish train company Renfe has cancelled all journeys between Madrid and parts of southern Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adamuz is located in the province of C\u00f3rdoba, and is barely twenty-five miles outside the city of the same name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: DI-tt.se<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Antalet d\u00f6da i s\u00f6ndagens t\u00e5golycka i Spanien har rusat upp till minst 39, rapporterar tidningen El Pa\u00eds.\u201dDet h\u00e4r \u00e4r en kv\u00e4ll av djup sorg f\u00f6r v\u00e5rt land\u201d, skriver Spaniens premi\u00e4rminister Pedro S\u00e1nchez p\u00e5 X.
