workers said.<\/p>\n<p>The crash in the municipality of Gelida, approximately 40km (25 miles) west of Barcelona, in Catalonia in northeastern Spain on Tuesday, comes just two days after a separate train collision killed at least 42 people in the country\u2019s southern Andalusia region.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-on\">\n<h2 class=\"more-on__heading\">Recommended Stories<!-- -->

Catalonia region, said in televised comments from the site of Tuesday\u2019s crash that 37 people had been injured, four of them seriously, and the train driver had died.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are four seriously injured, and one person who has passed away,\u201d Gallardo said, adding that all passengers \u200bhad been removed from the site of the crash.<\/p>\n<p>Catalonia\u2019s civil protection agency posted on social media that \u201ca retaining wall collapsed onto the tracks, causing an accident involving a passenger train\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Spain\u2019s railway operator ADIF said the wall likely collapsed due to heavy rains that swept across the region this week.<\/p>\n<p>The latest crash comes as Spain began three days of mourning for the victims of Sunday\u2019s deadly train accident that took place some 800km (497 miles) away, near Adamuz, Cordoba province, in Andalusia.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday\u2019s crash happened at 7:45pm local time when the tail end of a train carrying 289 passengers on the route from Malaga to the Spanish capital, Madrid, derailed and crashed into an incoming train, travelling from Madrid to Huelva, another southern city, according to ADIF.<\/p>\n<p>The front of the second train, which was carrying 184 people, took the brunt of the impact, which knocked its first two carriages off the track and down a 4- metre (13-foot) slope.<\/p>\n<p>Some bodies were found hundreds of metres from the crash site, according to Andalusia\u2019s regional president, Juanma Moreno.<\/p>\n<p>Spanish Minister for Transport Oscar Puente called the devastating crash \u201ctruly strange\u201d, since it occurred on a straight line, and neither train was speeding.<\/p>\n<p>Puente said officials had found a broken section of track that could possibly be related to the accident\u2019s origin, while insisting this is just a hypothesis and that it could take weeks to reach any conclusions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow we have to determine if that is a cause or a consequence [of the derailment],\u201d Puente told Spanish radio Cadena Ser.<\/p>\n<p>At this time, \u201call hypotheses are open\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Al Jazeera\u2019s Natacha Butler, reporting from Cordoba in southern Spain, said the latest crash will \u201cput a lot of pressure\u201d on the Spanish government and rail authorities \u201cto try and reassure people that they can catch a train in Spain and it\u2019s going to be safe\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Official says 37 people are injured, as Spain
