LIVE, accident between two trains in Spain: at least 68 dead, according to a new provisional toll and three days of national mourning declared

A train collision in Spain has resulted in at least 68 fatalities, prompting three days of national mourning. The incident occurred on the Madrid-Andalusia line, involving a Renfe train with 397 passengers and an Iryo train with 147. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez emphasized the need for assistance to victims and accountability for any negligence. The left-wing coalition has called for political responsibility and an independent audit of the rail network. The Minister of Transport acknowledged a 'wrong decision' led to the collision, which occurred after a system failure allowed one train to proceed despite a red signal. The tragedy follows a previous accident earlier this year, raising concerns about rail safety in Spain.
