Woman fined for crossing train tracks at site of tragedy

Spanish police have fined a woman who climbed down from a station platform and crossed railway lines hours after 13 people were killed and at least 14 injured by an express train at the same spot, officials said today.

Television footage showed an auburn-haired woman clambering down, crossing two sets of tracks, and climbing up on to the opposite platform before being stopped by security guards who called police at the beach resort of Castelldefels, south of Barcelona.
