High-Speed Train Collision in Central Spain Kills Dozens
Two high-speed trains collided in central Spain on Wednesday, with death tolls ranging from 10 to 68 reported across outlets. The crash occurred when one train struck another from behind, derailing cars and injuring dozens. This is Spain's second major rail collision in 2023.
Left-leaning outlets emphasize public anger and safety concerns about Spain's rail network, with some citing the transport minister blaming an 'inexplicable error' and noting this collision comes ahead of national elections.
