00:01Two high-speed trains collided on the line connecting Madrid to Spain's southern Andalusia region on Wednesday, killing at least
00:1064 people.
00:11Spain's rail operator, ADIF, said the crash occurred on Wednesday morning in Toledo province,
00:17when one of two high-speed trains carrying hundreds of passengers from Madrid toward Seville struck the rear of the
00:24other, derailing two carriages.
00:26Health Minister Monita García said emergency workers were focused on rescuing survivors and recovering bodies from the two most damaged
00:35carriages,
00:36while the injured were being taken to hospitals in the area.
00:40Officials warned that the number of fatalities could rise as rescue workers reached passengers trapped in the wreckage.
01:01The collision comes nine months after another crash involving trains operated by the same companies on the same line killed
01:0946 people near Adamus, in Córdoba province, in January.
01:14That accident, caused by a derailed train colliding with an oncoming train, sparked debate over investment in railway maintenance.
01:22Meanwhile, the Malaysian embassy in Madrid is liaising with Spanish authorities to determine whether any Malaysians were involved in the
01:30latest deadly collision.
01:31Thank you very much.
