LAST night (Monday, 15 December) KZN Emergency Medical Services paramedics again responded to an accident scene at the train tracks near Thornwood, in the Mariannhill area, where a woman had been hit by a train.
KZN EMS spokesman, Robert Mckenzie, said paramedics arrived on scene last night and found that bystanders had carried the woman from the tracks, up to the road side.
“The paramedics assessed the woman and found that she had sustained critical injuries. They worked frantically to try and save her life, before rushing her to hospital. Unfortunately, the woman succumbed to her injuries and died,” Mckenzie said.
This incident occurred on the tracks in the vicinity of the Klaarwater train station, where two men were hit by a train last Saturday morning.
“Paramedics who responded to the case said it was becoming a common occurrence for people to be hit by trains in the area,” he added.
