At least 90 people were injured in Argentina's capital when a passenger train collided with an empty boxcar and derailed on Friday. The incident occurred around 10:30 a.m. on a bridge in the Palermo neighborhood while the train was en route from Buenos Aires to the northern suburbs.

Authorities reported that the collision raised concerns about basic safety measures. It was revealed that several meters of copper cable, essential for the signaling system along the tracks, had been stolen, rendering the system inoperable and potentially contributing to the accident.
