Free State paramedics say a 12-year-old boy is lucky to be alive after an electric shock by an overhead railway cable in Viljoensdrift near Sasolburg over the weekend.
The boy was on top of a stationary train coach with a friend, when he came into contact with an overhead line supplying electricity to the coach.
Netcare 911’s Jeffrey Wicks says the boy plunged nearly five metres to the gravel below.
He sustained severe facial and leg burns, but miraculously, was uninjured in the fall. He is being treated in the Sebokeng Hospital.
