In Spain, a six-year-old girl was the sole survivor of her family after a train collision near Adamuz in Córdoba province on Sunday killed 42 people. The girl, who sustained minor injuries, had been traveling with her parents, brother, and cousin, all of whom perished in the accident. The family was returning home to Aljaraque after a trip to Madrid to see a musical and visit a stadium, a treat to celebrate the Epiphany. The girl was reunited with her grandmother after being cared for by a police officer. The accident, Spain's worst rail crash in over a decade, prompted mourning in Aljaraque and Punta Umbría. Other survivors included a pregnant woman who was critically injured and her sister who sustained lighter injuries.
