South Africa: 15 killed in taxi hit by train

The taxi (overloaded), left the road, plunged down an embankment onto the railway track and was struck by a train. Minibus taxi drivers are notorious for overloading and bad driving.

Put three of those mini-bus taxi's together and they would have more passenger's than a train.
