Argentina: Death toll in train crash rises to 49

None

Officials say a packed train has slammed into the end of the line in Buenos Aires' busy Once station, killing 49 people and injuring hundreds of morning commuters. It is Argentina's worst train accident in decades.

 

Federal Police Commissioner Nestor Rodriguez says Wednesday's dead include 48 adults and one child. It's Argentina's highest death toll from a train accident since 1970, when 200 were killed in a train collision. (AP)
