At least three people are believed to have died after a train derailed in northern Spain this morning.
There is also an increasing number of injured people, thought to be more than 50, after a train came off the tracks near Pontevedra, Galicia.
It had been travelling form the port city of Vigo to Valenca do Mino, in Portugal, when it derailed in the Spanish town of O Porrino at 9.30am.
The reasons why the train derailed are as yet unclear, but Spanish rail operator Adif has already announced it is launching an investigation.
Footage from the scene shows the train on its side and off the track, with the front crushed against an electricity pylon.
One of those dead is believed to be the driver, while a fourth person is reported to be in a critical condition.
Firefighters and paramedics are at the scene as passengers are being rescued from the wreckage and rushed to hospital.
There were about 60 passengers on the train, which belongs to Portuguese operator Comboios Portugal.
Political parties in north western Spain have temporarily suspended campaigning.
In July 2013, a high-speed train traveling from Madrid to Spain’s north derailed outside Santiago de Compostela, killing 79 people and injuring 140.
