At least 68 people have been killed after 2 high-speed trains collided south of Madrid, in Spain’s deadliest rail disaster since 2013. More than 500 passengers were travelling on the trains operated by Iryo and state-owned Renfe. Iryo said its train was struck from behind by the Renfe train. Spain’s transport minister described a decision by the control centre as “inexplicable”, following a computer failure that had initially stopped trains. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez visited an emergency centre near the crash site and said the country was grieving. Major political parties suspended election campaigning as rescue and emergency operations continued. (PC: BBC)
