Spain’s rail network under scrutiny after second deadly crash in as many days
AI Summary
Spain's rail network is under scrutiny following two accidents in two days. A commuter train derailed near Barcelona on Tuesday after a retaining wall collapsed onto the tracks due to heavy rainfall, killing one and injuring 41. This incident occurred shortly after another train struck a rock on the Maresme coast, causing minor injuries. These incidents follow a high-speed train collision near Córdoba on Monday that killed at least 43 and injured 152. The train driver's union is calling for an indefinite strike, demanding improved safety measures and accountability for the "deterioration of the rail network." The cause of the high-speed train collision is under investigation, but the driver reported a "snag" related to the power source moments before the crash.
