BREAKING NEWS: Woman killed by train

A 32-year-old woman was struck by a train at the Cleveland train station this morning.

An eye-witness said the woman was walking along the railway line when she was hit by the train.

“I think she was trying to cross from one platform to another when the train arrived. She tried to run and jump off the tracks, but she was too late,” he said.

The Cleveland SAPS communications officer, Constable Mpho Mashakane, confirmed the incident but said information surrounding the incident was still sketchy.

She said the accident happened just before 7 am.
