URDA, Spain (AFP) — A high-speed train collision south of Madrid killed 31 people and injured 80 on Wednesday, with the toll likely to rise, regional authorities said, in Spain’s second such disaster this year.
AFP reporters on the scene in the central region of Castilla-La Mancha saw one train embedded into another and some carriages lying on their side in tangles of metal debris at the bottom of an embankment.
Dozens of emergency services vehicles were racing to and from the site and helicopters hovered above during a frantic search for survivors.
