Buenos Aires, May 11 , 2024 : At least 30 people were injured and hospitalised after a train collision in Buenos Aires, Alberto Crescenti, director of the SAME emergency service, said. On Friday, a passenger train crashed into a
maintenance train on a railway bridge in the suburb of Palermo on the San Martin line, which connects the Argentine capital with the province of Buenos Aires, media reported. “We have assisted a total of 90 passengers, 30 of whom are in various city hospitals with code red,” Crescenti told reporters at the scene. The trains collided at slow speed, as the passenger train had just started moving and the empty boxcar, which was loaded with materials for repairing the railway track, was not moving at all, Argentine broadcaster TN said. Many passengers left the train on their own, while others needed help from emergency response teams, the report said. A train control error may have caused the incident.
