MADRID (AP) — A high-speed train in southern Spain derailed Sunday evening, colliding with another high-speed train, killing at least 40 people and injuring more than 150, Spanish authorities reported.

Rescue efforts were still ongoing Monday and officials said the death toll is likely to rise. The accident was the deadliest in Spain since a 2013 crash that killed 80 people when a commuter train hurtled off the rails as it came around a bend.
