Death toll rises to 78 in Spanish train crash

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA, Spain (AP) - A Spanish train that hurtled off the rails and smashed into a security wall as it rounded a bend was going so fast that carriages tumbled off the tracks like dominos, according to eyewitness accounts and video footage obtained Thursday. The official death toll from Wednesday night’s crash near this Christian festival city in northwest Spain rose to 78 in Spain’s deadliest wreck in four decades.
