  Death toll in high-speed Spanish train crash rises to 39

The death toll from a collision yesterday in southern Spain between a derailing high-speed train and an oncoming train has risen to 39, with 152 people injured, AzVision.az reports, citing foreign media.

The accident happened at 7.45 p.m. local time (1845 GMT) on Sunday near Adamuz in the province of Cordoba, about 360 km (223 miles) south of the capital Madrid.

Video from the scene shared on social media yesterday showed rescuers pulling passengers from twisted carriages lying on their side under the glare of floodlights. Some passengers climbed out of smashed windows, while others were wheeled away on stretchers.

There were around 400 passengers on the two trains, most of them Spaniards traveling to and from Madrid after the weekend.
