At least 155 people have been injured after two trains collided on the outskirts of Barcelona, emergency services have said.

The crash, which occurred around 07:50 (06:50 GMT), took place at a station in Spain's north-eastern Catalonia region.

Local media reported that the trains had been travelling in the same direction and collided while one was parked at the station.

Catalan police are investigating how the incident occurred.

The crash happened at the Montcada i Reixac - Manresa station, about 12km (7 miles) from the city centre.

Emergency services official Joan Carles Gomez told reporters at the scene that 155 people had been injured in the collision, with 14 passengers transferred to a local medical centre for further treatment.

"We're talking about many bruises and some head injuries, but nothing serious," he said, adding that the passengers were being examined to "rule out any fractures".

Mr Gomez said the train was moving "very slowly (when the collision occurred) but people who were standing up fell over and hurt themselves".

A spokesman for the regional fire service said the moving train had collided with "the back part" of a stationary train at the station.

Train traffic was briefly disrupted on several lines due to the accident, the regional government said.

Describing the moment of the collision, one passenger told the Ser Catalunya outlet that she had experienced "a tremendous blow" and said that "people were screaming".

Another passenger told the BBC that she had seen "people with blood on them, because they had suffered a gash from the blow".

Spanish Transport Minister Raquel Sánchez said she was closely monitoring the situation and wished a "speedy recovery" to the injured.

There have been several accidents on Catalonia's regional train system in recent years, with regional officials blaming them on a lack of rail funding from the central government.

The president of the Catalan regional government, Pere Aragonès i Garcia, called for urgent "explanations" into the causes of the crash from the rail operator Renfe and the Spanish government.

And the speaker of the regional assembly, Laura Borràs, said it was "imperative" that the incident was not repeated.

She wrote on Twitter that "Catalans deserve safe" rail transportation.

I'm amazed, I must say. Seldom do I encounter a blog that's equally
educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail
on the head. The problem is something not enough folks are speaking intelligently about.
Now i'm very happy that I found this in my hunt for something relating to this.

Hey everyone,

I've been diving into the world of online casinos lately,
and I’ve gotta say — it’s surprisingly fun. At first, I was totally unsure.

I mean, how do you even trust an online platform with
your money, right? But after spending hours researching (and trying out a few dodgy sites so you won’t have to), I figured out a few things that distinguish a trustworthy casino from a
complete fraud. First off, if you’re new to all this,
here’s the golden rule: **check the license**.
If a casino doesn’t have a proper license (like from the MGA or the UK Gambling Commission), just walk
away. No bonus is worth the risk of never seeing your money
again. Also — and I know no one wants to — check the terms.

That’s the only way to know what kind of playthrough limits
they’ve slapped onto those so-called “amazing” bonuses.


Now, let me share a site I’ve been hooked on these last few weeks.
It’s been a total win. The interface? Super easy to navigate.
Payouts? No waiting around. And the game selection? *Insane*.
Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some weird niche games I hadn’t
tried before. Check it out here: spinmama erfahrungen What
really impressed me was the support team. I had a tiny issue
with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like 10 minutes.
Compare that to other sites where you’re just
ghosted by support — yeah, not worth it.

Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some awesome
ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just grab every shiny offer.
It’s smarter to go for fair terms than a huge bonus you’ll
never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and bet the farm
— please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra spending money
and you’re looking for a bit of online excitement, online casinos can totally deliver.

Just keep your head on, set a budget, and
don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a
paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s interested
or trying to find a decent place to play. If you’ve got your
own stories or even some wild losses, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff.


Good luck out there, and spin smart, win big ??
