Second Spanish Train Derails Near Barcelona, Multiple Injured
- On Tuesday, a Rodalies R4 commuter train derailed between Sant Sadurní d'Anoia and Gelida after a retaining wall collapsed onto the tracks, and Spanish state news agency EFE reported the driver died with at least 15 passengers injured.

- Catalonia's Protecció Civil de la Generalitat de Catalunya activated the Ferrocat emergency plan, dispatching 11 ambulances while emergency crews used specialised equipment and suspended R4 line services.

- The sequence of rail incidents has prompted scrutiny of infrastructure and urgent calls for reforms, as the Gelida derailment came days after the Adamuz, Córdoba high-speed collision that killed over 40 people.
