One Canadian among 69 people killed in Spain train crash

One Canadian is among the 69 people killed in last week’s high-speed rail crash in Spain, according to Spanish authorities.

After the collision, Global Affairs Canada said it was aware of six Canadians injured and one missing.

Last Wednesday in the province of Toledo, a high-speed train slammed into another train that stopped in central Spain, derailing two cars.

The accident involved trains from Spain’s state-owned RENFE and the private company IRYO.

Out of those killed, 54 were Spanish nationals, four were Americans and one victim each came from France, Japan, Argentina, Mexico, Portugal, Tunisia and the Czech Republic, according to Spanish officials.

Authorities are still working to identify three remaining bodies, while two Australians and one person from Japan remain unaccounted for.
