Spain is entering three days of mourning after at least 68 people died in a collision between two high-speed trains south of Madrid. Nearly 80 people are in hospital after the disaster.
"Lives have been shattered, families have been torn apart, the pain is immense," said Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez from the crash site in Urda.
Transport Minister Óscar Puente says a computer failure led to the ini0tial halt of six moving trains, including the two trains that subsequently collided.
It is the second deadly rail crash on the same line in a year.
