Commuter train hits wall in Spain’s Barcelona, several injured: Emergency services

A commuter train hit a collapsed retaining wall near Barcelona on Tuesday, injuring several people, officials in the Catalonia region of northeastern Spain said.

The incident came as the country is still reeling from the collision of two high-speed trains on Sunday in Andalusia, in the south of the country, which left at least 42 people dead.

“A retaining wall collapsed onto the tracks, causing an accident involving a passenger train” in the municipality of Gelida, the region’s civil protection agency posted on its social media accounts.

Catalan emergency services said their teams are “treating at least 15 injured people” with eleven ambulances at the scene. The authorities did not provide further details about the condition of the injured.
