A train accident at Denver train station south of Johannesburg this morning has left one person dead and about eighty injured.
This is after one train
crashed into another and paramedics arrived on the scene to find the wrecked
trains blocking the tracks completely.
ER24 Spokesperson Russel
Meiring says on assessment paramedics discovered that the driver of one of the trains
had sustained fatal injuries in the collision and nothing more could be done
for him and he was declared dead on the scene.

Meiring says at least 80 other
patients were found on the scene with injuries ranging from minor to critical. One
woman was found trapped between the train and wall. Rescue services and paramedics
managed to free the patient and treatment was done on her before being
transported to hospital.
“All the other patients were
treated for their injuries on scene and then transported to hospital for
further medical care” Meiring added.
