The death toll arises by 2 resulting in at least 41 death and dozens more injuries after two high-speed trains collided in southern Spain.
The incident near the city of Córdoba has been described by local officials as Spain's worst rail crash in more than a decade. The crash occurred at around 19:45 local time (18:45 GMT) on Sunday, about an hour after one of the trains departed Málaga for Madrid.
The train derailed and crossed over to the opposite track, then collided with an oncoming train travelling from south Madrid to Huelva, which was forced into an embankment running alongside the track, Spain's Transport Minister Óscar Puente said on Sunday.
Spain's PM Pedro Sánchez vows an investigation will uncover the cause of a high-speed train crash that killed at least 41 people as the country declares three days of mourning. As the death toll arises, cranes and heavy machineries have been deployed to find more bodies.
