At least 37 people have been injured, five seriously, in a second crash, after Sunday's two-train collision in Andalusia.

A train driver has been killed and at least 37 people injured, five seriously, after a commuter train derailed and crashed near Barcelona two days after a deadly two-train collision in southern Spain.

According to local officials, the Rodalies train collided with a retaining wall which fell on to the track between Gelida and Sant Sadurní.

Catalonia regional fire Inspector Claudi Gallardo said all the passengers had been removed from the train.

The incident occurred as heavy storms battered north-eastern Spain, with coastal areas in the east and north-west of Spain on high alert because of the weather.

Rail officials believe the wall collapsed as the train was passing shortly after 21:00 (20:00 GMT) on Tuesday evening, striking the driver’s cab first and then causing considerable damage to the first carriage of the train in which most of the injured passengers were travelling.

    Not another. Two in Catalonia in hours. I’ve heard it’s for the weather (strong wind and hard rain) that broke a wall and made some rock roll to the rails.

    Edit: I was mistaken. I though there were two different crashes in Catalonia but it has being only one.
