One dead after Barcelona commuter train derails

(CNN)At least one person was killed and six injured when a commuter train carrying around 150 people was derailed near the Spanish city of Barcelona, officials said early Tuesday morning.

Catalonia Civil Protection tweeted that a landslide in the village of Vacarisses, about an hour and half northwest of the Catalan capital, caused the passenger train to derail.
The train and its carriages have now been completely evacuated, the fire department tweeted.
