STORYLINE:
Spain began three days of mourning on Tuesday after a deadly train accident in the country’s south.

On scene, emergency crews continued searching for possible bodies.

The official death toll of Sunday’s accident rose to 40 by late Monday.

But officials warned that that count may not be definitive, with emergency workers still probing for bodies among what Andalusian regional president Juanma Moreno called “a twisted mass of metal.”

The crash took place Sunday at 7:45 p.m. when the tail end of a train carrying 289 passengers on the route from Malaga to the capital, Madrid, went off the rails.

It slammed into an incoming train traveling from Madrid to Huelva, another southern Spanish city, according to rail operator Adif.

The head of the second train, which was carrying nearly 200 passengers, took the brunt of the impact.

That collision knocked its first two carriages off the track and sent them plummeting down a 4-meter (13-foot) slope.

Some bodies were found hundreds of meters (feet) from the crash site, Moreno said.
