Ten people are injured, three seriously, as a train is caught up in a wildfire in eastern Spain.

The passengers were on a service from Valencia to Zaragoza in the north when the fire brought the train to a halt.
The train driver asked passengers to stay on board, but some panicked.
As he prepared to reverse the train, which had left Valencia late on Tuesday afternoon with 48 passengers on board, some broke windows in an attempt to escape as the flames drew close.
Some of those who fled suffered burns and one was airlifted to hospital for treatment in Valencia. Those with the worst burns were a 58-year-old woman and a girl aged 15, Spanish reports said.
No-one who stayed on the train was hurt.

Passengers have been injured, some seriously, after trying to evacuate a train between Valencia and Zaragoza.

Interestingly, the driver told people to stay on the train, but some panicked and ignored him/her. They were the injured ones.

I travelled this route on Wednesday afternoon. Buses are now being used to avoid the firey section.
