Scontro tra convogli in Spagna: 68 morti e due italiane disperse

Italian women are among those reported missing after the high-speed train collision near Urda, Spain, according to RaiNews, the news service of Italy's public broadcaster.

The report's title, "Scontro tra convogli in Spagna: 68 morti e due italiane disperse" ("Train collision in Spain: 68 dead and two Italian women missing"), names two missing women. An onscreen caption says three. The report does not reconcile those counts; its description puts the death toll at at least 68.

Footage shows rescuers working among derailed carriages and injured passengers walking near the wreckage. One survivor says he had been sitting in carriage seven, which was destroyed, but got up to get coffee shortly before the impact. He credits that decision with saving his life.

Another passenger describes a powerful blow from behind, followed by chaos inside the carriage. A witness recounts taking his wife by the hand and telling her to run. Others describe overturned carriages, abrupt braking and people being thrown about onboard.

One passenger questions how the collision could have happened after the train had remained stationary for several minutes. That testimony does not establish the cause of the crash.

The report follows injured passengers being rushed to a hospital in Toledo and closes with a mother describing a telephone call about her son's serious condition.
