A commuter train in Spain crashes into a collapsed wall, killing at least one person, days after the deadly derailment

A commuter train crashed into a collapsed retaining wall near Barcelona on Tuesday, killing one person and injuring at least 15, according to officials in the Catalonia region of northeastern Spain.

The incident occurred as the country is still recovering from the collision of two high-speed trains on Sunday in Andalusia, in the south of the country, which left at least 40 dead.

“A retaining wall collapsed on the tracks causing a passenger train accident” in the municipality of Gelida, the region’s civil protection agency published on its social media accounts.

Catalan emergency services said their teams are “treating at least 15 injured people” with 11 ambulances at the scene. Four people were seriously injured, according to the spokesman for the firefighters of the northeastern region of Catalonia, Claudi Gallardo.

Tuesday’s train accident occurred about 35 minutes from Barcelona.

Spain in mourning after deadly derailment

The accident near Barcelona came as Spain began three days of mourning for the victims of Sunday’s deadly derailment.

King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain visited Adamuz, the Andalusian crash site, on Tuesday and thanked first responders, health workers and volunteers who continued efforts to search for more victims in the rubble, the royal palace said.

Spanish police said 159 people were injured. Andalusia’s regional emergency services said 41 people remained hospitalized on Monday, 12 of whom were in intensive care units. Another 81 passengers were discharged Monday afternoon, officials said.
