Dozens killed in Spanish high-speed train crash
More than 500 passengers were travelling on the two trains
At least 68 people have been killed and dozens more injured after a Spanish high-speed train collided with another train south of the capital Madrid. Spain's transport minister says an "inexplicable" decision by the control centre led to the collision after a computer failure initially caused trains to halt.
