A devastating high-speed train crash in Spain has left at least 68 dead and 58 more requiring medical attention.
According to Fox News, the trains collided on Wednesday after one train stopped on the tracks, “derailing both trains and shredding at least two cabins.”
The crash took place in Spain’s Castilla-La Mancha, with the regional government confirming the death toll and adding that another 58 people required medical treatment in hospitals. Several Americans are believed to have been hurt in the crash, according to the State Department.
Rescue workers continue to search in the wreckage for survivors and bodies, with witnesses describing a gruesome scene.

One train, run by the state-owned RENFE company, ran into the tail of the other train owned by private company IRYO that had stopped, knocking two of its cars off the track. Those companies were the same ones involved in January’s crash.
Padilla said 397 passengers were on the RENFE train and 147 passengers on the IRYO train.
CBS News shared video of the crash’s aftermath here.
One passenger recounted the tragic moment one of the victims died in his arms.
