There were no deaths in the collision at the Old Naledi level crossing

News Image Old Naledi Police Station has confirmed that there were no fatalities reported following a collision last night between a train and a truck at a level crossing. Acting Station Commander Mike Gaoboe informed Mmegi Online that the incident occurred after 9pm as the train was departing for South Africa (SA). Gaoboe mentioned that initial investigations suggest the truck involved belonged to the retail giant, Choppies. "The truck involved in the collision was en route to Commerce Park when the incident occurred, and we believe it was owned by Choppies," he stated.

Despite the severity of the collision involving two large vehicles, Gaoboe emphasized that both drivers emerged from the incident unharmed. "Only the cargo from the Choppies truck was affected, with no damage sustained by the train, and fortunately, no injuries were reported," Gaoboe remarked.

Upon receiving notification of the accident, authorities promptly dispatched a team to the site. Gaoboe seized the opportunity to remind individuals to adhere to road regulations for their own safety.
