There were no injuries in the accident near Alcalá de Henares

There has been a spectacular goods train crash in Madrid, but thankfully no injuries.

Six wagons came off the tracks, and two of them were carrying dangerous substances of solvent and oxygenated water. There are no reports of any leaks.

It happened just 80m from homes on the line which runs between Alcalá de Henares and Guadalajara.

One of the trains did hit a local school building, and classes at the Doctora Alcalá centre have been cancelled today.
