Authorities are investigating the cause of the collision on Friday at the Buttskop crossing in Cape Town, site of a memorial to the victims of the 2010 crash.
South African media say the victims in Friday's accident were workers in the pickup truck that was on the railway tracks. Photographs from the scene show their crumpled vehicle.
