BBC News reported that Spain's transport minister has resigned days after a high-speed train collision south of Madrid killed at least 69 people. The collision also left dozens of people injured, the BBC said.

ABC News reported that the minister announced his resignation six days after the fatal high-speed rail crash. The BBC and ABC News summaries describe the crash in similar terms, and neither gives a reason for the resignation.

The Guardian, in a report from Agence France-Presse, said that two Australians are among the 69 people who died in last week's high-speed train collision. Spanish authorities confirmed the identities of three more victims, the report said.

According to The Guardian, a legal body set up to handle the identification work said the three latest victims include two Australians and a Japanese citizen. The summary of that report was cut off before it described the makeup of that body, so no further detail is available here.

All three reports give the same death toll of 69. The BBC summary places the collision south of the capital, Madrid, and the Guardian summary does not state a location.

The sources differ only in how they describe the timing of the resignation. BBC News described it as coming days after the crash, while ABC News specified six days.

None of the three summaries names the transport minister who resigned.
