At least 10 people were killed when a high-speed passenger train slammed into youths crossing railway tracks at a station in Spain late on Wednesday, national radio said.
It said 15 people were also injured in the accident at the Castelldefels Playa station near Barcelona at around 23:30.
The youths were celebrating the St John’s Day festival, which takes place annually on June 23 in the north-eastern region of Catalonia and includes bonfires, fireworks, concerts and dances, the Europa Press news agency said.
It said the station was equipped with a pedestrian underpass, but the group crossed the tracks at an unauthorised spot.
The line was closed following the accident and several teams of police, medics and firefighters were at the scene.
