A commuter train has crashed against a construction crane in southeastern Spain, leaving several people injured, including one seriously, state broadcaster TVE reported on Thursday.
The crash occurred in Cartagena in the Murcia region, TVE said. It came after Sunday’s deadly high-speed train collision in the southern Andalusia region that killed at least 43 people and another train accident in northeastern Catalonia on Tuesday in which the train driver died.
Spanish rail operator Adif said on social media that traffic on that line was interrupted due to “the intrusion into the infrastructure gauge by a crane not belonging to the railway operation”, without providing further detail.
It was the country’s fourth rail crash in less than a week.
Four people suffered minor injuries in the crash near the port city of Cartagena in the Murcia region, authorities added.
