Spain has been hit with its third recent train crash after a commuter train collided with a construction crane, leaving several people injured.
The crash took place near Alumbres, Cartagena, southern Spain, on Thursday.
One person has been left seriously injured following the incident, state broadcaster TVE reported on Thursday.
It came after Sunday’s deadly high-speed train collision in the southern Andalusia region that killed at least 43 people and another train accident in northeastern Catalonia on Tuesday, in which the train driver died.
Spanish rail operator Adif said on X that traffic on that line was interrupted due to ‘the intrusion into the infrastructure gauge by a crane not belonging to the railway operation’, without providing further detail.
