The footage shows the eight-carriage train, operated by state rail company Renfe, entering a sharp bend at high speed near the city of Santiago de Compostela then careering off the tracks. Police took the train driver into custody in hospital on Thursday with an official source saying the crash was caused by excessive speed. Prime minister Mariano Rajoy visited the local hospital, where most victims were taken, and declared three days of official mourning.
