Spain has been rocked by a another train crash within a week after the deadly collisions in Adamaz and Barcelona.

In the latest incident, a commuter train crashed into a crane in southeastern Spain today.

Several people have been hurt, including at least one seriously, according to state broadcaster TVE.

The Spanish rail operator Adif raised the alarm, saying services have been ground to a halt due to ‘the intrusion into the infrastructure gauge by a crane not belonging to the railway operation,’ but it did not reveal further details.
