Following the train crash in Spain that killed 74 people, Claudia Rodriguez, the wife of successful footballer Marc Cucurella, who plays for Real Madrid, shared what she experienced, stating that she was travelling on the service immediately behind the crashed train.

HER OWN TRAIN WAS NOT DAMAGED

Rodriguez, making a statement on her social media account, said that she had set off to go to Malaga and that her own train was not damaged in the crash. 

''TRULY TERRIFYING''

Stating that she was fine, Rodriguez shared her feelings with the words: "Because there was quite a distance between us and the crashed train, the train we were on was not affected at all. However, because we were on the same route, our service was cancelled and we had to return to Madrid. To think that if the crash had happened a little later, our train could have experienced the same disaster is truly terrifying. I send all my support to the families and relatives of those who lost their lives."
