At least 64 people have been killed after a Spanish high-speed train collided with another south of the capital Madrid, officials say.
The updated death toll makes the rail disaster the country’s worst since 2013, when 80 people died after a train derailed in north-western Spain.
Investigations are ongoing but Francisco Badea, a professor of engineering at Nebrija University, says unacceptable failures in the system likely occurred before the deadly crash.
More than 500 passengers were travelling on the trains involved in Wednesday’s collision, the spokesperson for the regional government says.
