Paramedics from the KwaZulu-Natal provincial Emergency Medical Rescue Services and Netcare 911 on Saturday responded to reports of a collision between two trains at Dargle near the Midmar Dam in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.
Netcare 911 spokesperson Chris Botha said that a goods train had collided with a locomotive.
Paramedics on the scene reported that three people had sustained minor injuries.
Spoornet spokesperson Selby Dlamini said he could confirm that an accident had taken place and he believed it was a ”minor” incident.
He said there was minor damage to the overhead cables on the track which is ”effectively the main line between Johannesburg and Durban”.
Delays of up to 30 minutes were expected along the line. – Sapa
