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] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 http://www.forotransportes.com/archive/index.php/t-2912.html Tragedias ferroviarias en Argentina {{1962 railway accidents}}{{coord|34|39|56|S|58|26|57|W|display=title}}2. ^1 2 The Times, Jun 12, 1962 page 10 3. ^1 2 3 Railroad Wrecks by Edgar A.
