night.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Those who attended to the injured passengers indicated that the rescue effort was extremely difficult because of the distance that they had to travel to reach the chaotic scene.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The site where a bridge collapsed beneath the moving train is about five kilometres away from the main road and medics had difficulty negotiating muddy ground in the dark.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>People stranded at the train wreckage lit fires and used the bright screens of their mobile phones to guide members of the emergency services to their position in the dark.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It took members of the emergency services and the Namibian Police several hours to get all the injured and walking passengers to safety.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The rising sun enabled people to negotiate the muddy ground and to see their way to the B1 Road between Keetmanshoop and Mariental from where they were picked up and transported to various hospitals for treatment and observation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The chaotic accident occurred when a railway bridge collapsed under the train following heavy rains and a flood at the start of the week. The floodwater weakened the foundations of the bridge.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, a search for the missing person, who went looking for help on foot, was launched.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignnormal\"><!-- MetaSlider 271797 not found --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":299478,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-299475","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
