South Africa : Train derails, injuring 15.

JOHANNESBURG - Fifteen people were injured, two of them seriously, when a Metrorail train partially derailed on Friday morning.

Ekurhuleni Emergency Services spokesman William Ntladi said the cause of the derailment wasn't immediately clear, but Metrorail officials were on the scene.

The train driver and his assistant were among the 13 slightly injured people who were transported to hospital for treatment.

It will be interesting to see what the cause was. May the injured have a speedy recovery.
