‘I held this woman in my arms. She died’: Spain mourns train crash victims

Current state

A high-speed train collision near Toledo in central Spain has killed at least 68 people and injured more than 100 after one train struck the rear of a stopped train and derailed at least two carriages. Spain has begun three days of mourning, services on the Madrid–Andalusia high-speed line remain suspended, and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has pledged a full investigation into what the transport minister called an “inexplicable” order to continue despite a red signal.
