Spain has begun three days of mourning after a high-speed rail collision killed 68 people and injured scores more, the Guardian reports. It is the country's second such crash this year.
The trains, one from state-owned Renfe and the other from the private company Iryo, were travelling in the same direction on Wednesday morning. The line runs from Madrid to the southern region of Andalusia.
After the Iryo train came to a halt, the other train slammed into its rear. The impact knocked several carriages off the track near the town of Urda.
Emergency services combed through the wreckage overnight. The Civil Guard has set up clinics where relatives can provide DNA samples to help identify victims. Relatives are seeking news of their loved ones.
