Spanish train kills 12 on tracks

A high-speed train passing through a Spanish railway station has hit a group of young people crossing the tracks, killing at least 12 of them.



The train was travelling through Castelldefels Play station near Barcelona when the incident occurred.



Officials say so far at least 14 other people were injured, three critically.



It’s believed that they were heading to the beach to celebrate a summer festival and were crossing the tracks rather than using a pedestrian underpass.



The 12 people killed had just arrived on a commuter train from Barcelona.
