A train driver has been killed and at least 37 people injured, five seriously, after a commuter train derailed and crashed near Barcelona two days after a deadly two-train collision in southern Spain, the BBC reports.
According to local officials, on Tuesday evening the Rodalies train collided with a retaining wall which fell onto the track between Gelida and Sant Sadurní.
Catalonia regional fire Inspector Claudi Gallardo said all passengers had been removed from the train.
The incident occurred as heavy storms battered north-eastern Spain, as coastal areas in the east and north-west of Spain are on high alert because of the weather.
Eleven ambulances were on the scene in Gelida, Catalonia – around 35km west of Barcelona – treating those injured, emergency services said.
