7 killed, 160 hurt in bus-train crash in Argentina
At least seven people were killed and more than 160 injured after a bus in the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires was hit by a train Tuesday morning as it tried to make it across the railroad tracks during rush hour.
The bus driver was among those killed, AFP said.
A total of 100 ambulances and 10 fire engines were sent to the scene to rescue those trapped in the wreckage.
This is the second major accident this year involving trains in Argentina. In February, a long distance train slammed a suburban passenger train, leaving four dead and 120 injured.
