At least 39 dead, dozens injured after high-speed trains collide in Spain
A high-speed train collision killed at least 39 people, Spanish authorities said Monday, as they worked to piece together what may have led to the deadly crash.
The tail end of an evening train traveling from Malaga to Madrid with some 300 passengers went off the rails near Córdoba at 7:45 p.m. local time, officials said. It slammed into a train traveling from Madrid to Huelva, another southern Spanish city, according to rail operator Adif.
Spain’s Civil Guard updated the death toll to at least 39 early Monday. It told NBC News that the national protocol for responding to mass casualty incidents had been activated and that its personnel, including experts in fingerprinting and DNA analysis, were joining the effort to identify the victims.
