Two farm workers were killed when a goods train collided with a bakkie early on Thursday at a railway crossing in the Free State.

The collision happened at 6.38am near Alpha farm in the Thaba Nchu district.

“The train driver alleges that he noticed a white bakkie on the level crossing and tried to warn the driver but the bakkie remained stationary until the two collided,” said police spokesperson Brig Motantsi Makhele.
