Origin: Urda collision kills at least 68
A high-speed train collided with another that had stopped on the tracks near Urda in central Spain on Wednesday. At least 68 people were killed and 58 were being treated in hospitals.
The impact tore apart carriages as rescuers searched the wreckage for survivors and bodies through the day. Evacuated passengers walked along a nearby road, some bloodied or bandaged, while volunteers handed out water.
Transport officials blamed an error by the rail system's central control center, not the conductors. The trains were running on the Madrid to Seville route.
