At least 68 killed in Spanish high-speed train collision

[Eric J (Viking)]

This is awful in Spain. Apparently computer failure.

At least 68 people have been killed after a Spanish high-speed train collided with another train south of the capital Madrid
The updated death toll makes this crash the country's worst rail disaster since 2013
Spain's transport minister says an "inexplicable" decision by the control centre led to the collision after a computer failure initially caused trains to halt
The rail operator Iryo says its train was "struck from behind" by a Renfe train. More than 500 passengers were travelling on the two trains
Speaking at the crash site, Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez says Spain is "grieving" - most major parties have suspended general election campaigning
Witnesses have described "terrible" scenes, while Roberto Gómez, a Spanish journalist travelling on one of the trains, says it was "extremely chaotic and very distressing"
