Two passenger trains taking commuters to the city of Barcelona collided early on Wednesday, injuring more than 150 people, though none seriously, Spanish officials said.


Emergency services said medics tended to 155 people on site, with 39 later taken to medical centres for further treatment. The reported injuries were limited to knocks and bruises.


The collision occurred near Montcada i Reixac, a town 30 minutes north of Barcelona.


Many people make the daily commute from the town and others nearby to Spain's second largest city to work each day.
