Three days of mourning declared in Spain following deadly train crash

# Spain’s prime minister Pedro Sánchez has declared three days of mourning after at least 68 people were killed in a train accident in the Toledo province, south of the capital Madrid, yesterday. A high-speed train collided with a stationary train, leaving about 100 people injured. Transport minister Óscar Puente says a computer failure led to the initial halt of six moving trains, including the two trains that subsequently collided. Sánchez says authorities are investigating the exact cause of the deadly train crash, vowing to address potential failures or negligence with firmness.
