A woman is in a serious but stable condition in the Prince M’Shiyeni Memorial Hospital after she was struck by a train in W Section, Umlazi, Wednesday evening.
It is thought that the woman had been walking on the platform when the fast moving carriages caused a vortex or a back draft, pulling the woman into the side of the train.
She was lucky to escape with only facial and head trauma. She was treated and stabilised by Netcare911 Paramedics at the scene before she was transported by ambulance to hospital for further care.
