Train

crash kills 30 in Valencia

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hospitals around the city were place on

alert for victims

 

 

 

At

least 30 people have died in a metro train crash in the eastern Spanish city

of Valencia, regional officials say.

A fire brigade spokesman said two

carriages of the train had come off the rails in a tunnel at Jesus station.

Officials quickly ruled out terrorism as a cause of the crash,

with early suggestions pointing to speeding or a tunnel

wall collapse as likely causes.

About a dozen other people were injured, some seriously, in one

of Spain's worst accidents of

its kind.

" We are still identifying the dead, but according to an

initial estimate there are more than 30, " regional government spokesman Vicente

Rambla said.
