At least 39 people were killed and more than 120 injured when a high-speed train in southern Spain derailed and was hit by another. Sunday night's accident on Europe's largest high-speed rail network has surprised experts, because it occurred with a relatively new train on a straight piece of track.
Spain on Monday reeled from a collision between two high-speed trains in the southern region of Andalusia that killed 39 people and injured more than 120, with the prime minister lamenting a "night of deep pain".
