At least 54 people have been injured in a train crash at Barcelona's Francia station, emergency services said on Friday.
One person is reportedly in a serious condition.
According to a spokesman for train operator Renfe, a commuter train traveling from the town of Sant Vicenc de Calders, crashed into buffers at the station at around 7:15 a.m. (0515 GMT).
The incident took place during the morning rush hour when many passengers on the train were standing up.
This led to a greater number of injuries although no fatalities have been reported.
At least 20 people, including the driver, have been hospitalized, while others were treated by paramedics at the station.
