A passenger train derailed as it hurtled around a curve in northwestern Spain on Wednesday, killing 77 people and injuring more than 100, officials said. At least 73 people died at the scene, and four others died while hospitalized, said Mara Pardo Ros, spokeswoman for the Galicia regional supreme court. In Spain, judges typically record deaths that take place outside of hospitals, according to a report of CNN. More than 20 injured victims remained in critical condition early Thursday, said Agustin Hernandez Fernandez of the Galicia infrastructure ministry. The state railway Renfe said the train crashed on a curve several kilometers from the train station in the city of Santiago de Compostela. The train had 218 passengers aboard and was nearing the end of a six-hour trip from Madrid to the town of Ferrol in northwest Spain when it derailed at 8:41 p.m., Wednesday, the railway said.
