(News Today) - At least 10 people were killed and 15 were hurt when they were run over by a train in a town south of Barcelona, Spain, a spokesperson for Catalonia Civil Protection told CNN sister station CNN Plus Thursday.
The accident occurred between 11:30 p.m. and midnight Wednesday (5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. ET) as a group of people got off a local train that had stopped at the town of Castelldefels and attempted to cross the tracks, the spokesperson said.
Many were planning to attend the Fiesta de San Juan, which celebrates the year's shortest night.
As they crossed for the tracks, an express train that was not scheduled to stop at Castelldefels barreled through the station and hit them, the spokesperson said.
"There are bodies that are absolutely destroyed," one witness told El Pais newspaper. "The train passed over them at full speed and the pieces of bodies are all over."
