Train station staff inform travellers about a service outage, as authorities inspect the railway infrastructure after three derailments in 48 hours that left dozens dead, at Sants railway station in Barcelona, Spain<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

MADRID, Jan 22 (NNN-AGENCIES) — A commuter train hit a crane in the southeastern Spanish region of Murcia on Thursday leaving “several lightly injured”, state operator Renfe said, the latest rail accident to strike within a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spain was already reeling from back-to-back rail disasters that claimed 44 lives, injured dozens and raised doubts about the safety of the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There are several lightly injured” and the crane did not belong to Renfe, a spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murcia emergency services confirmed the accident occurred in the municipality of Alumbres, without specifying the number of victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The train had not derailed and police and firefighters were at the scene, the emergency services added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffic was suspended on the line between the city of Cartagena and the village of Los Nietos, the Renfe spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A collision between two high-speed trains in the southern region of Andalusia on Sunday killed 43 people \u2013 Spain’s deadliest rail disaster in more than a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, a commuter train ploughed into the rubble of a collapsed retaining wall near Barcelona, killing one and injuring 37.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The train driver union has called a three-day strike for February, saying it was “the only legal route left for workers to demand the restoration of the rail system’s safety” for staff and users. — NNN-AGENCIES<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
