Incident in Spain took place days after collision between two high-speed trains in Andalucía that killed at least 42
A commuter train has hit a collapsed retaining wall near Barcelona, injuring several people, officials in the Catalonia region of north-eastern Spain have said.
The incident on Tuesday came just two days after the collision of two high-speed trains in Andalucía, in the south of the country, which left at least 42 people dead and dozens injured.
“A retaining wall collapsed on to the tracks, causing an accident involving a passenger train,” the region’s civil protection agency posted on its social media accounts.
Catalan emergency services said their teams are “treating at least 15 injured people” with 11 ambulances at the scene, which is in the municipality of Gelida. The authorities did not provide further details about the condition of the injured.
