“Emergency crews and SAPS responded immediately and pronounced the 3 occupants of the bus deceased,” said Asefovitz.He said TFR executives expressed sincere condolences to the families of the deceased.
Asefovitz appealed to the community to assist in eradicating these tragic incidents by obeying at all times the traffic laws governing rail level crossings. “The law requires motorists to bring the motor vehicle to a complete standstill at the level crossing. A fully-laden goods train requires at least one kilometre to come to a standstill, and the train driver cannot, unlike a motorist, apply brakes and stop immediately or swerve out of the way,” said Asefovitz.According to the emergency service, when they arrived they found that a vehicle and train had collided.
“It is reported that the vehicle broke down while crossing the train tracks. The occupant quickly realised the train was approaching and exited the vehicle,” said the ambulance service.
