"The raging river has eroded the sand from under the train tracks"
Four people were injured when a goods train plunged into the Amanzimtoti River near Durban, KwaZulu-Natal emergency workers said.
"The raging river has eroded the sand from under the train tracks, causing the train to plunge several meters into the torrent waters," said Netcare 911 spokesman Chris Botha.
Paramedics arrived at the scene to find the four train staff members severely traumatised, cold and wet.
"After they were stabilised on scene, medics transported them to the Netcare Kingsway hospital for the care that they required," he said.
