At least 68 dead, six Canadians injured in Spain train crash

At least 68 people are dead and 58 are receiving medical treatment, including six Canadians, after a Wednesday morning crash between two trains in central Spain.

“Our thoughts are with their families, the victims and their loved ones in the days and weeks ahead,” Carney told reporters in Ottawa.

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.

Around 100 Madrid emergency personnel are responding to the crash.

This crash comes nine months after an accident between high-speed trains belonging to the same operators on the same line that killed 46 people.
