Regional officials have confirmed at least 40 people are dead after a high-speed rail collision in southern Spain. The crash happened Sunday when the tail end of a train jumped the track, causing another train to derail. Authorities say the impact was so violent that bodies were found hundreds of meters away. Efforts to recover bodies continue, and the death toll may rise. The crash happened near Adamuz, with 159 people injured, including 12 critically. Transport Minister Óscar Puente calls the incident "strange" and says the cause is unknown. An investigation is underway.
