A train crashed into a bus at a rail crossing in Argentina early on sunday, killing 18 people and injuring about 45, local media reported.
Several witnesses said the bus driver drove through the crossing’s lowered safety barriers. The bus company said the cause of the accident was not clear.
”It seems the driver of the bus passed when the barrier was down and the train cut the bus in half,” Daniel Scioli, the provincial governor, told local television at the crash scene. ”It was inconceivably imprudent.”
Roberto Capiel, a health official from the town of Dolores, said some of the victims were ” in a very serious condition.”
