At least six people have died in the collision of a bus and two trains near Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, reports the BBC.

The crash, which happened during the morning rush hour, left at least 100 injured, some seriously, police said.

Firefighters were at the scene to try to free people trapped in the wreckage, Argentine media reported.

Details are still unclear but witnesses said the bus went through a level crossing, crashing into one train and then the second.

A local fire chief confirmed that six people had died and the injured were being taken to local hospitals.

The accident happened at about 07:00 local time (10:00 GMT) near the station in the Buenos Aires neighbourhood of Flores.
