"A commuter train has hit a collapsed retaining wall near Barcelona, injuring several people, officials in the Catalonia region of north-eastern Spain have said. The incident on Tuesday came just two days after the collision of two high-speed trains in Andalucia, in the south of the country, which left at least 42 people dead and dozens injured. A retaining wall collapsed onto the tracks, causing an accident involving a passenger train, the region's civil protection agency posted on its social media accounts."
"Catalan emergency services said their teams are treating at least 15 injured people with 11 ambulances at the scene, which is in the municipality of Gelida. The authorities did not provide further details about the condition of the injured. Spanish broadcaster TVE said that four people were seriously injured, including the train driver. Spain's railway operator, ADIF, said the containment wall probably collapsed because of heavy rainfall that swept across Catalonia this week. Associated Press contributed to this report"
