Spanish newspapers said carriages derailed as the train approached a station in the city of Santiago de Compostela, a popular place of pilgrimage in the northwestern region of Galicia. Pictures taken at the scene show several carriages which had rolled over at the side of the tracks, with flames and smoke seen rising from the front carriage. Bill Bond, a journalist in Spain, told Sky News there were reports of at least 50 injured people. Spanish state television said eight carriages had derailed and the train was travelling from Madrid to the port city of Ferrol. It happened at about 8.40pm local time - 7.40pm UK time - on a bend a short distance from a scheduled stop in the city. The cause of the crash is not yet known.
