Americans Among 69 Dead in Spain Train Crash

A high-speed train ran into a stopped train in Spain's Toledo province last Wednesday, and authorities put the death toll at 69. Four Americans and a Canadian are among the dead, and most of the victims were Spanish. Three people are still reported missing, two Australians and a Japanese citizen. It is the second deadly collision on the Madrid-Seville line in nine months, after one that killed 46. Rail safety questions are growing, and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has promised an investigation before a November 29 election. Our prayers are with every family waiting for word. Rail safety is not a campaign talking point, and these families deserve answers.
