The death toll is rising: At least 39 dead PHOTO/VIDEO
The death toll from the railway accident in Spain, in which two trains derailed, has risen to at least 39, while the number of injured has increased to at least 73, 11 of whom are in serious condition.
Among those in critical condition are two children, who are being treated in intensive care. Another 48 people remain hospitalized, including three children.
The death toll could rise again in the coming hours, as one of the derailed carriages is “heavily damaged,” said the President of the Andalusia regional government, Juanma Moreno, according to the television network España. One of the deceased is also the train driver.
Most of the injured have been hospitalized at the “Reina Sofía” hospital.
The Andalusian regional government has requested the intervention of the Military Emergency Unit to assist in rescue efforts, and sources from the government delegation confirmed that the military contingent is already on its way to the area.
The accident occurred around 7:45 PM in the town of Adamuz, in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia, when a train traveling from Málaga to Madrid derailed and fell onto an adjacent track, where a train traveling from Madrid to Huelva was located, causing that train to derail as well.
The accident took place on a section of the railway that was renovated in May of last year, and the train that derailed was “relatively new,” being four years old.
