A passenger train crashed in northern Spain on Tuesday night, killing one person and injuring dozen more, as the death toll from a train crash in southern Spain days earlier climbed to 42.

Police said Monday that at least 39 people are confirmed dead in a high-speed rail collision the previous night in the south of the country when the tail end of a train jumped the track, causing another train speeding past in the opposite direction to derail.

The victims of Spain’s deadliest rail crash in more than a decade included a police officer, journalists and a family returning from a musical.

At least 39 people are dead following a collision between two trains in southern Spain on Sunday, Jan. 18, the president of the Andalusian regional government, Juanma Moreno, said. He noted that the death toll is likely going to be ‘much greater’ once the train carriages are lifted.

"I saw bodies piled up inside a carriage with metal wreckage all over when I looked through the window," says a woman who aided rescue efforts.
