Buenos Aires: A packed train slammed into the end of the line in Buenos Aires' busy Once station Wednesday, killing 49 people and injuring hundreds of morning commuters in Argentina's worst train accident in decades.

Federal Police Commissioner Nestor Rodriguez said the dead include 48 adults and one child. It's Argentina's highest death toll from a train accident since 1970, when 200 were killed in a train collision.

Rodriguez said further investigations are going on.
