JOHANNESBURG, Shawwal 1, 1436, Jul 17, 2015, SPA -- A commuter train crashed into another passenger train during rush hour Friday in South Africa's largest city injuring more than 300 people, AP quoted an emergency services spokeswoman as saying. Nana Radebe, spokeswoman for Johannesburg Emergency Services, said 326 people were rushed to nearby hospitals with minor to serious injuries. No fatalities were reported. "For now we have removed people with minor to serious injuries, but none critical," she said, adding that firefighters searched for commuters who may have been trapped inside the train cars. The trains were on the same track, Radebe told The Associated Press, and it appeared that a traveling train collided with a stationary train. --SPA 01:12 LOCAL TIME 22:12 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
