Trains collide in Barcelona, 22 hurt

A SUBURBAN train bumped into the back of another at Barcelona’s main rail station, lightly injuring 22 people yesterday, officials said.

One train entering Sants de Barcelona station collided with the other, which was stationary, at 10:05am, said a spokeswoman for ADIF, Spain’s rail infrastructure operator. “Twenty-two people were injured ... The rest of the passengers were evacuated,” she said. Spain suffered its worst rail crash in 70 years on July 24, when a speeding train tore off the tracks and crashed into a siding outside the northwestern city of Santiago de Compostela. That crash killed 79 and injured about 180.
