At least 200 commuters have been injured in a train collision in Germiston.

One train rear-ended a stationary locomotive at the Geldenhuis train station on Tuesday morning.

This incident follows the deadly Free State train crash last week.

At least 19 people were killed and hundreds more were injured when the train collided with a truck.
