Train Derails in Catalonia, Spain: One Dead, Several Injured

A passenger train derailed near Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain, resulting in the death of the train driver and injuries to several passengers, four of whom are in serious condition. The accident was caused by the collapse of a wall on the railway line, in the municipality of Gelida. This tragedy comes during a period of mourning for Spain, as another train accident occurred in Andalusia just a few days ago, with 42 fatalities. Authorities continue their investigations to determine the exact causes of the accident and restore the railway connection.
