Quilmes: 19-year-old killed by Roca train
A 19-year-old man died on Friday morning after being struck by a Roca train at a level crossing on Castelli Street in Quilmes. Emergency services and police arrived at the scene, but medical professionals confirmed the individual had died instantly due to the impact.
Local authorities have launched a judicial investigation to determine the exact causes of the accident. The prosecutor's office has ordered forensic examinations and requested a review of local security camera footage to reconstruct the events.
The incident caused temporary operational restrictions on the railway line, leading to significant delays for passengers. Trenes Argentinos later reported that full service had resumed on the La Plata and Bosques branches via Quilmes.
