South Africa, A train collided with a trailer that was left behind at the railway line on Fairdale Road in Moseley Park, Pinetown last Friday.

There were at least 40 people on the train, but only 10 sustained injuries.

The train driver is one of the people hurt.

Reports from the scene indicate that the trailer was left on the railway line by a truck driver who failed to cross the railway because the truck trailer got entangled in the overhead power lines.

"It’s believed that the truck driver detached the mechanical horse from the trailer and left the trailer across the railway line,” said a police spokesperson.

“Moments later, a commuter train coming into the Moseley Park railway station collided with the stranded trailer, causing the locomotive to derail from the track,” Mathe said.

Police are investigating the cause of the crash.

Exactly. What a set of dicks. When they finally realised a train was coming (which obviously hadn't occurred to them that could happen, being a train track), they thought jumping up and down and waving their arms about would get the train driver to stop... like he would see them clearer than a great big lorry trailer on the track.

"Police are investigating the cause of the crash."

Cause of the Crash was a fucking trailer left on the tracks and the train driver not having time to stop... WTF more is there to investigate for the cause of the accident!?

Dumbassery? Just what special thing did the Russians forget, since they learned to not just halt the Nazis but beat them too??
