ADAMUZ, Spain — Emergency services in Spain used cranes on Tuesday (Jan 20) to gain access to the worst-hit carriages in a high-speed train crash as they sought to recover the remains of people still missing in a disaster that has killed at least 41.<\/p>\n

Spaniards are reeling following the first-ever deadly accident on Spain’s extensive high-speed rail network, which occurred on Sunday evening near Adamuz in Cordoba province, about 360km south of Madrid. Experts say a faulty rail joint might be key to determining the cause of the derailment that led to the collision between two trains.<\/p>\n

Another body was found overnight within the wreck of the first derailed train that belonged to private consortium Iryo, elevating the death toll to 41, authorities said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

At least three bodies have been seen still trapped inside the wreckage, Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska told state broadcaster TVE late on Monday.<\/p>\n

He said that police had received 43 missing-person reports, which broadly matched the provisional death toll, but cautioned that the final number would not be confirmed until rescue teams had lifted the derailed carriages.<\/p>\n

The collision occurred in rolling, olive-growing countryside in the foothills of a mountain range. The site is only reachable by a single-track road, making it difficult for rescuers to access with heavy machinery.<\/p>\n

King Felipe and Queen Letizia were set to visit the site along with Deputy Prime Minister Maria Jesus Montero later on Tuesday, the government’s public agenda showed.<\/p>\n

Tales by survivors of tragedy and fortune were beginning to emerge on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Lola Beltran told TVE she had changed carriages minutes before the crash, moving from her assigned seat in one of the hardest-hit cars to another carriage to sit with a colleague.<\/p>\n

“We had to break the windows with emergency hammers and pry open the doors to get out,” Beltran said, describing scenes of chaos, screams, and torn-out seats.<\/p>\n
