Spanish authorities have identified ten more foreign victims of last week’s train crash near Urda, bringing the number of people identified to all but three of those killed, according to a statement cited by Spanish media.
Four of the newly identified victims were from the United States. The others were from Canada, Japan, Argentina, Mexico, Tunisia and the Czech Republic. Earlier, authorities had identified victims from France and Portugal.
Two Australians and one Japanese national remain missing. Fifty-four Spaniards were also killed in the crash, the report said.
The collision happened on Wednesday as rail traffic resumed after a disruption. A high-speed train, travelling at an estimated 160 to 200 kilometres per hour, struck a stationary train near Urda. The cause of the crash has not been established in the report.
It was Spain’s second major train crash this year. A January accident in Andalusia killed 46 people.
