A lottery ticket seller in southern Spain has been hailed as a hero after he spent about six hours ferrying rescuers and victims around on his quad bike after the train collision that killed at least 41 people and injured dozens of others.

Gonzalo Sánchez, 43, was at home in the small town of Adamuz when the town’s WhatsApp group alerted to reports of a train that had derailed nearby.
