Inclement weather was also blamed for a further train derailment that had been reported in the Barcelona region earlier in the day. Train oprator Adif said that storms had caused a rock to fall on the tracks, striking a train axle on a service between Blanes and Maçanet-Massanes. No one was reported injured.

The incidents followed <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2026/-dead-in-spain-train-collision-near-adamuz">Sunday's deadly collision between two high-speed trains near Adamuz</a>, close to the city of Córdoba, in the southern Andalusia region. Officials there said on Tuesday that the death toll had risen to 42 while the number of injured rose by one to 123, adding that 37 people remain in hospital.

Officials there said on Tuesday that the death toll had risen to 42 while the number of injured rose by one to 123, adding that 37 people remain in hospital.

While commuter trains in Barcelona are known to be unreliable, with issues being frequently recorded, the cause of this latest derailment is believed to be the heavy rain which has swept through the region in recent days, likely triggering the collapse of the wall onto the train's pathway.
