Bus With Chaco For Ever Fans Hits Low Tunnel in Banfield, Injuring Seven

Witness claims of police rush tactics leading to a low‑tunnel route have intensified questions over match‑day security.

Overview

  • A double‑decker coach carrying Chaco For Ever supporters became lodged under the low‑clearance Carlos Fayanás underpass in Banfield, crushing its upper deck.
  • Emergency crews treated at least seven people for cuts and blows, and no life‑threatening injuries were reported.
  • Witnesses say Buenos Aires provincial police rushed the post‑match exit then directed the coach into a tunnel too low for a two‑level bus.
  • The bus was rendered unusable and passengers were left stranded, while two following coaches halted in time to avoid a larger crash.
  • The tunnel sits under the Ferrocarril Roca tracks and has a restricted height, a limit now fueling fresh scrutiny of how police, clubs, and transport providers plan routes for visiting fans.
