In Barcelona, 63 people were injured in a collision of two buses, reported Agence France-Presse and the Spanish publication "Periodico", quoted by BTA, referring to the figure reported by Albert Battle, deputy mayor of Barcelona.
Four of the injured are in serious condition. One of them is a minor.
One of the injured was trapped in one of the buses and had to be removed by specialized teams.
Among the injured was a group of cruise ship passengers who were on a tour of the city, in particular the “Sagrada Familia“ cathedral, which is close to the scene of the accident. Among the injured were a group of Italian students who were staying in a neighboring city, Battle said.
The collision took place on the “Avinguda Diagonal“, one of the most emblematic boulevards in the city.
There is no complete information on the nationality of all the injured, according to Agence France-Presse.
In footage shared by eyewitnesses on social media, a white and green bus is seen crashing into a white bus on one of the lanes of the boulevard. There are also many ambulances at the scene.
According to eyewitnesses quoted by “Vanguardia“, one bus hit the back of the other bus, which in turn crashed into a tree.
