One dies on crowded Cape strike trains

One person died and four were injured when they fell from packed Cape Town passenger trains on Wednesday, Metrorail said.

The accidents came as train drivers continued their nationwide strike, leading to cutbacks in the number of trains running.

Metrorail Western Cape spokesperson Riana Scott said the five fell from "overfull" trains on the Cape Flats.
