"A commuter train collided with a construction crane in Cartagena in southeastern Spain on Thursday, injuring several people, including one who was seriously hurt. The collision, in the Murcia region, comes days after a 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. What do we know about the latest incident?"
"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 unclear how the crane came to obstruct the track or whether safety procedures were breached. Investigations into the crash are underway as rail services remain disrupted."
