Many dead and injured after two trains carrying around 500 people derailed and collided in Spain - DW News [View all]



At least 21 people have been killed and dozens more injured after two high-speed trains collided in southern Spain.
One of the trains derailed - and landed on an adjacent track. It was then hit by an oncoming train, which also derailed. The accident took place in the southern town of Adamuz, near Cordoba.

Emergency workers are at the scene to rescue passengers trapped in the carriages. The operators say the two trains were carrying around 500 people. Spain's transport minister says they don't know yet the cause of the accident.
