Train mows down party of youths

A TRAIN ploughed into a group of youngsters taking a shortcut to a Spanish beach party, killing at least 12 of them.

Another 14 were injured in the country’s worst rail accident since 2003.

The youths got off a commuter train in the beach resort of Castelldefels outside Barcelona shortly before midnight Wednesday to head to the party. About 30 climbed down off the platform and tried to run across the tracks instead of using an underpass to leave the station.
