One dead in SA train crash

Police in South Africa say at least one person has been killed and 29 others injured when two trains collided near the city of Durban.

A police spokesman said the two commuter trains were travelling on the same track when one crashed into the back of the other about 13 kilometres (eight miles) north of the city.

The accident is the latest in a series of collisions on South Africa's rail network this year.

Earlier this month, seven people were killed when a train was derailed in the northern Free State.
