Two buses from line 28 collided Wednesday near the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires, leaving at least six people injured [1], [2].
The accident occurred at the intersection of Hipólito Yrigoyen and Paso Colón, a high-traffic area located just meters from the Argentine presidential palace. Because of the location's proximity to government headquarters, such incidents often trigger immediate security responses and disrupt transit in the city's political center.
Emergency services responded to the scene on Aug. 5, 2026, to assist those wounded in the crash [1], [2]. Both vehicles involved in the collision belonged to the same transit line, though the specific cause of the crash has not been released by officials [1], [2].
Witnesses reported a strong impact between the two colectivos, which are the standard public buses used throughout the capital. Six people were reported injured following the collision [1], [2]. Local authorities managed the traffic flow at the intersection of Hipólito Yrigoyen and Paso Colón to allow medical personnel to reach the victims.
No further details regarding the condition of the injured persons were provided in initial reports. The area surrounding the Casa Rosada remains a critical artery for public transportation, and the collision caused temporary delays for commuters using line 28 and other intersecting routes [1], [2].
