One person died last Friday in a train accident near Barcelona (Spain) (8). Other dozens of pbadengers were injured, including four in serious condition, said the authorities of the Civil Protection of Catalonia.
The civil protection services confirmed that the driver of one of the trains, a 26 year old woman, had died in the accident. The rescuers were able to remove all the injured only around three o'clock in the afternoon (Brasilia), almost three hours after the beating.
According to the state railway company Renfe, preliminary information is that both compositions are apparent. Until 18 hours this Friday, we did not know what caused the collision.
A witness heard by the Catalan television channel 3/24 said that several pbadengers had fallen under the force of the impact.
As it was trains connecting the center of Barcelona to the periphery at rush hour, both compositions were very full, said Joan Gràcia, Head of Risk Management and Planning. Vehicles of this type generally accommodate standing pbadengers.
According to the Catalan press, the place of the accident is considered difficult to access. Eight ambulances and 18 firefighters attended the victims.
The same line suffered an accident in November
One of the trains that crashed on Friday belonged to the R4 line of the Rodalies urban train network – the same as on November 20 suffered a derailment that killed one person and 49 wounded
Local authorities attribute this accident to a landslide caused by heavy rains in the area.
