According to local officials, the Rodalies train collided with a retaining wall which fell onto the track between Gelida and Sant Sadurni on Tuesday evening. The severity of injuries suffered by passengers is currently being assessed by emergency services. The incident occurred as heavy storms battered north-eastern Spain. Many coastal areas in the east and north-west of Spain are on high alert because of the weather. There have also been snowstorms in the Spanish Pyrenees and storms along the coast of Menorca, causing waves several metres high. Eleven ambulances were on the scene in Gelida, Catalonia - around 35km (21.7 miles) west of Barcelona - treating those injured, emergency services said. The local fire service said 35 crews had been sent to the area and one passenger trapped inside the train had been rescued. In a later update it said that no-one remained inside and that its crews were conducting a sweep of the area to rule out any further victims. Emergency services said they had evacuated some of the injured to nearby Moises Broggi, Bellvitge, and Vila Franca hospitals.
