Passengers injured in Mamelodi train crash

An investigation is underway to determine what caused the locomotive, known as a tamping machine, to collide with the Metrorail train just after 6pm at Eerste Fabrieke Station on Saturday.I have been made aware of an accident involving Transnet Freight Rail Machine & a new Metrorail Train. I am attending to the matter with my immediate focus being the injured passengers. Updates to follow.

Emergency services attended to 43 minor and 14 serious injuries. “The injured commuters are receiving urgent medical treatment at both Steve Biko and Tshwane district hospitals,” said Metrorail. “The driver of the stationary train requested the 300 commuters on board to leave the train upon noticing the oncoming tamping machine. The commuters refused to leave the train and instead pulled the passenger emergency alarm levers, which stops the train from moving.”"The line has been closed to allow both Metrorail and Transnet technical teams to attend to the accident."
