At least four people have been killed and 40 injured when a train crashed into vehicles in central South Africa, emergency services say.
Emergency assistance group Netcare911 said they were attending to the crash in the area of Kroonstad, a city 180km south west of Johannesburg, along with other emergency services.
"Approximately 40 injured and 4 fatalities at the train crash in Kroonstad area," Netcare911 tweeted, alongside an image of a derailed train crushing a car.
However, emergency medical service company ER24 said 100 people were injured.
Images shared on social media by ER24 showed the train charred beside a wrecked car and truck.
