Hundreds of people are reported to have been injured after a commuter train crashed at a busy station in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires.
The train is reported to have slammed into the barrier at the end of the platform at the Once station in the west of the city.
The transportation ministry said at least 340 people had been injured and it could not rule out fatalities.
Many people are reported to be trapped in the train.
"There are people still trapped, people alive, and there may have been fatalities. We don't know if there are dead people in the wreckage," the transportation secretary, JP Schiavi, told reporters at the station.
He said the commuter train had hit the barrier at about 12mph (20km/h), destroying the front of the engine and crunching the carriages behind it.
One of the carriages was driven nearly six metres (20ft) into the next, he said.
Survivors told the TeleNoticias channel that many people had been injured in a jumble of metal and glass.
