“The train then pulled him for about a kilometre to two kilometres,” Mr Subuyi
said. “The bodies are lying all over the scene. People torn apart and so
forth.”
A witness to the aftermath of the incident described it to local radio,
saying: “You can smell blood. It’s a very gruesome sight.”
Joseph Mabuza, spokesman for the provincial department of community safety in
the province of Mpumalanga, where the accident happened, said the accident
was the worst in the region since 1994.
“I think everyone who attended the scene will need some kind of counselling,”
he said. “Police did their best to keep members of the public and relatives
back from the tracks.”
Mr Mabuza said that 19 people had died on impact, while two died on their way
to hospital and a further three died in hospital. He said the driver was
among the injured, but his condition was not yet know.
But he cautioned that the death toll could still rise. “You have scattered
bodies. It is difficult to count or to come up with a conclusive number,” he
said.
The Congress of South African Trade Unions, the country’s largest union, said
the accident exposed the terrible working conditions in the area.
“The accident also points to the need to re-examine all railway level
crossings to make sure that drivers are fully aware of the approaching
hazard,” it said in a statement.
Accidents at level crossings are common in South Africa as drivers often
ignore safety signs.
This year a court handed a 20-year prison term to a Cape Town minibus taxi
driver who ignored safety signals at a railroad crossing and was hit by an
oncoming train, killing 10 school children.
