Three people killed in Argentina rush hour train crash - RTE.ie

Three people have been killed after two trains crashed into each other between stations in Buenos Aires.

Over 75 people have been injured and many had to wait for rescue workers to pull them from the wreckage.

Four area hospitals were treating the injured, including some with exposed fractures.

The two-level train slammed into the back of the other train between the stations of Moron and Castelar on the Sarmiento line, which links the Argentine capital's densely populated western suburbs to the downtown Once station.

It was not immediately clear why the leading train had stopped between stations, and why the train behind failed to stop in time.

Because the accident happened on the outbound tracks, the cars were much less full of passengers than those carrying commuters to work in the city.
