The Villa Soldati level crossing disaster occurred on the morning of June 11, 1962 in Villa Soldati, Buenos Aires, when, in dense fog, a train struck a municipal bus carrying schoolchildren to kindergarten.[1][2]

The accident happened near President Illia Station where the Line Belgrano Southern crosses Lacarra Street at its junction with Veracruz.[1] The crossing attendant, believing the crossing to be clear, opened the barriers to allow a truck to cross. The truck was followed by the bus.[3] The bus driver did not hear the warning bell until it was too late.[2] The impact of the train virtually destroyed the bus [1] and pushed part of it 150 yards down the track.[2] Dozens of ambulances and a hundred doctors arrived at the scene. The injured were taken to four different hospitals where a shortage of blood and plasma resulted in an appeal for blood donors to which 1500 people responded.[3]

As a result, 42 people were killed and 83 injured.[1] Other than the bus driver and a female teacher,[3] the dead were children less than 13-years-old.[1] There were no casualties on the train.[3]

A monument now marks the scene of the tragedy.[1]
