The Argentine television and journalism community is in deep mourning following the death of Ernestina Pais. The host passed away this Friday at the age of 54 as a result of a tragic train accident that occurred at a level crossing in the Buenos Aires district of San Isidro.
According to information obtained by La Derecha Diario, Pais was driving a Honda car when she attempted to cross the railway intersection located at the intersection of Sáenz Peña and El Cano streets with the barrier down.
At that moment, the vehicle was struck by a train from the Tren de la Costa. Initial reports indicate that the barrier was down at the time of impact, although this aspect is part of the judicial investigation.
The collision occurred on the driver's side and resulted in the journalist's death at the scene. Firefighters, police officers, and forensic experts worked at the site of the accident, while the case was handed over to the Functional Instruction Unit of Martínez, which will seek to determine how the accident occurred.
