At least 39 people were killed and another 170 injured after two high-speed trains collided near the city of Cordoba in southern Spain, local media reported on Monday.

The accident occurred at around 7:45 p.m. on Sunday, when a train carrying 317 passengers on the Malaga-Madrid route derailed for reasons still unknown near Amaduz, about 20 km from Cordoba, Spanish authorities said.

The derailed train struck another high-speed train traveling on an adjacent track from Madrid to Huelva, causing the latter to derail.
