Jan 22, 2026

Madrid [Spain], January 22: One person died and 37 others were injured in a commuter train accident in Spain's north-eastern region of Catalonia on Tuesday, just two days after a deadly train crash in the country's south that claimed at least 42 lives. Regional emergency services said the fatality was the train driver.
Catalonia's civil protection agency said on X that around 20 ambulances, along with dozens of paramedics and emergency workers, were deployed to the scene near the town of Gelida, east of Barcelona. A retaining wall collapsed onto the tracks during a violent storm accompanied by heavy rain, striking a commuter train on the R4 line of the Rodalies network, the agency said. (DPA)
