150 injured when trains collide-Alyssa Hamilton

In Johannesburg, South Africa two commuter trains collided on Thursday. One train crashed into the other stationary train, about 150 people were injured. There are many children among the wounded but "Many are walking wounded and already left. There are 20 people in serious condition and one, the driver of the second train, is in a critical condition"
Thankfully not many people were hurt that badly. Hopefully everyone involved and their families are okay!

  1. It's lucky that no one died, which is surprising since it was a serious accident! I hope everyone makes a full recovery.

  2. I wonder what the conductor of the moving train was doing not to notice the stationary train. It's sad, but great that no one is dead.

  3. I don't understand how trains collide...How do you miss a huge train in front of you?

  5. I have to agree with Kennedi. How did the conductor not see the train in front of them?
