Passengers recount moment high speed trains crashed in Spain

Survivors of a collision between two high-speed trains in Toledo, Spain, on Wednesday (Oct 28) recounted harrowing scenes of the crash, which killed at least 68 people and injured dozens more. The crash happened after a Renfe train struck a stationary Iryo train at high speed, causing several carriages to derail. Renfe said its train had been authorised to continue its journey before the collision. The exact circumstances remain under investigation. One passenger described how people were "thrown into the air" during the collision. He said he was lucky to have been having a coffee at the time. He was travelling in coach seven, one of the worst-hit carriages, where he counted at least eight victims. #spain #spainnews Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
