A tragic accident on Buenos Aires' Metrobús system claimed the life of a 78-year-old woman Tuesday morning. The victim was struck and killed by a bus belonging to Line 67 while she was in the Cabildo avenue corridor, a notoriously busy thoroughfare in the capital.

The incident occurred during peak morning hours, leading to immediate and substantial traffic diversions. Emergency services responded swiftly, but the woman succumbed to her injuries at the scene. The exact circumstances leading to the collision are under investigation.

Authorities have implemented traffic detours in the surrounding area to manage the flow of vehicles while accident investigators work.
