Spain train crash survivors describe 'absolutely terrifying' scene...

Passengers caught up in a deadly train crash in Adamuz have described the moment a Madrid-bound train derailed and crossed over to neighbouring tracks, colliding with an oncoming train.

Survivors told of people and their belongings being "scattered" around the carriage, and described an "absolutely terrifying" scene.

At least 39 people were killed in the high-speed crash at 19:45 local time (18:45 GMT) on Sunday, about an hour after the train left Málaga.
