RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sent their condolences to King Felipe VI of Spain on Monday following a train crash the previous night in which at least 40 people died.
Two trains collided on a high-speed line in the town of Adamuz, near Cordoba in southern Spain. At least 43 people remained in hospital on Monday afternoon, nine of them in serious condition, authorities said. They warned that the death toll could rise.
The incident is the worst rail crash in Spain since a derailment in Galicia in 2013 in which 80 people were killed and 140 injured.
