A taxi collided with a private car and overturned in the Caballito neighborhood of Buenos Aires on Saturday [1], [2].
The incident highlights the ongoing risks of urban traffic accidents in densely populated areas of the Argentine capital. Emergency services responded to the scene in the early hours of June 13, 2026 [2].
According to reports, the collision left three people injured [1]. The victims included the taxi driver and the driver of the private car [1], [2]. While the total number of injured is listed as three, a separate report noted that one person was gravely injured [3].
Local authorities arrived at the scene to manage the wreckage and provide medical assistance to those involved. The taxi overturned on the roadway following the impact with the private vehicle [1], [2].
Conflicting reports emerged regarding the nature of the crash. Some accounts suggested a different incident involving a bus and a motorcyclist in the same neighborhood [3]. Other reports indicated a bus driver may have fallen asleep and hit parked cars, creating a chain reaction. However, the primary reports from the scene of the taxi overturn identify the collision as occurring between the taxi and a private car [1].
Traffic in the Caballito area was affected as crews worked to clear the overturned vehicle from the street. No official cause for the collision has been released by city officials at this time [1].
“A taxi collided with a private car and overturned in the Caballito neighborhood”
The disparity in reporting regarding the vehicles involved—ranging from a taxi and car to a bus and motorcyclist—suggests either multiple accidents occurred in the Caballito neighborhood simultaneously or there was significant initial confusion in emergency reporting. The presence of a gravely injured victim underscores the severity of the impact in a high-traffic residential zone.
