AI Summary

medium article 2 min

A commuter train crashed outside Barcelona in Gelida, Catalonia, on Tuesday, killing one person and injuring 37 others. The train collided with rubble from a retaining wall that collapsed onto the tracks, likely due to heavy rains. The train driver died, and four people sustained serious injuries. This incident occurred just two days after a separate train collision in Andalusia, southern Spain, which killed at least 42 people. Spain had begun a three-day mourning period for the victims of the earlier accident when the Barcelona crash occurred. The first collision happened when a train derailed and crashed into an incoming train near Adamuz, Cordoba province.
