A train derailed in Spain, killing at least 15 people, according to local authorities. The incident occurred near the town of Almería in Andalusia. Emergency services responded quickly to the crash, which happened in the early hours of the morning.
The train, carrying both passengers and cargo, was traveling on a single track when it overturned. Initial reports suggest the cause of the accident is under investigation. Officials have not yet confirmed whether the crash was due to mechanical failure or human error.
This is the second major rail incident in Spain this year. A similar derailment in February killed 21 people. Both accidents have raised concerns about the safety and maintenance of Spain’s rail network. With national elections approaching, political leaders are expected to face increased scrutiny over infrastructure safety.
