Two California university students have been injured in a horrific train crash in Spain that killed at least 69 people.

The crash occurred Wednesday when a high-speed train slammed into another that was stopped in Udra, Spain, about 100 miles south of Madrid.

CalPoly confirmed two of those injured in the crash were from the school, while a GoFundMe identified one of them as third-year student Leah Silver-Fajardo.
