Johannesburg - Three people were injured on Thursday, when a train crashed into a truck at the Waterfall Smelter Crossing outside of Rustenburg, paramedics said.
ER24 spokesperson Russel Meiring said that paramedics arrived on the scene at around 2.30pm, and found the truck lying upright on the side of the road.
" The train had come to a stop some distance away. Paramedics assessed the patients and found that the driver of the train, as well as her assistant, as well as the driver of the truck had all sustained minor injuries," he said.
