Spain: Commuter train hits crane in wake of 2 deadly crashes
"A commuter train crashed into a construction crane in Cartagena in southeastern Spain on Thursday, injuring several people, including one who sustained serious injuries. The collision occurred in the Region of Murcia, days after a deadly high-speed train crash in Andalusia killed at least 43 people and another rail accident in Catalonia earlier this week left a train driver dead."
"In an online post, Spain's rail infrastructure operator Adif said traffic on the affected line had been halted due to "the intrusion into the infrastructure gauge by a crane not belonging to the railway operation." The company did not provide further details. It remains uncler how the crane came to obstruct the track or whether safety procedures were breached. Investigations into the crash are under way as rail services remain disrupted."
