Barcelona - Arab Today

A commuter train slammed into the end of the platform during the morning rush hour at a busy station in Barcelona on Friday, leaving 54 people injured, emergency services said. 


One person was seriously injured, 19 were injured "less seriously" including the driver, and 34 were lightly injured in the accident at Francia station in the centre of the Spanish city, emergency services said on Twitter. 


A French citizen and a Romanian were among the injured, a spokesman for the civil protection agency said. The rest were Spanish nationals. 


The regional train, travelling from the town of Sant Vicenc de Calders located about 70 kilometres (40 miles) southwest of Barcelona, ran into the buffers at 7:15 am (0515 GMT), Spanish train operator Renfe said. 


At the time of the accident many passengers were standing up in the busy carriages, which increased the number of injuries. 


"We did not know if it was a bomb and people started screaming and were very scared," Lidia Garcia, who was travelling in the first carriage of the train, was quoted by Catalan daily El Periodico as saying. 


"At the moment of impact I had the feeling of experiencing an earthquake. People were swaying back and forth and colliding into each other," Garcia told rival Catalan newspaper La Vanguardia


"Many people fell to the ground because people were standing up and I saw several people with cuts to the head and face from the blows they suffered when they fell
