MADRID: A commuter train has crashed into a construction crane in southeastern Spain, leaving an undetermined number of people lightly injured, regional emergency services said today.
“The train hasn’t been overturned nor derailed,” a spokesman for emergency services in the southeastern Murcia region told Reuters.
The crash occurred near Murcia’s Cartagena. It came after Sunday’s deadly high-speed train collision in the southern Andalusia region that killed at least 43 people and two other crashes in Catalonia on Tuesday.
Spanish rail operator Adif said on X that traffic on that line was interrupted due to “the intrusion into the infrastructure gauge by a crane not belonging to the railway operation”, without providing further details.
