Two Australians have died in a high-speed train crash in Spain, according to local authorities. The incident occurred last week when a train derailed near the town of Cercs, in the province of Girona. The crash killed 69 people, with the victims' identities now confirmed by officials.
The train, traveling at high speed, collided with a vehicle on the tracks, causing a derailment. Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, but the injuries were severe. Among the victims were two Australians, whose names have been released by local authorities. The exact cause of the collision is under investigation.
This is the second major rail accident in Spain this year. A similar incident in February killed 78 people near the city of Lleida. Both accidents have raised concerns about rail safety in the country. The Spanish government has announced a review of safety protocols following the latest crash.
