South Africa driver fired over Soweto train crash

A South African train driver has been fired for causing an accident which injured more than 850 people last week.

The investigation showed that the man had been driving at 85 km/h (53 mph) in an area where the limit was 30km/h, reports say.

Many passengers were flung out the window when the speeding train ploughed into a stationary one in Soweto on Thursday evening.

No-one died but it was described as the biggest crash in recent years...
