Twelve people were killed and 14 others were injured after a train hit a group of young revellers crossing tracks instead of using an underpass in Spain, local media said. The accident happened as a group of about 30 people who had gotten off a commuter train at the Castelldefels Playa station some 25 kilometres south of Barcelona attempted to cross the tracks. The youngsters were taking part annual Saint John's Day celebrations which fell on June 23. The accident scene has been sealed off and there is a large presence of police, firemen and rescue workers as TV footage shows.
