Man hit by train on crossing dies (BBC News)
 

A man dies after being hit by a train at a level crossing on a busy commuter route in Berkshire.

More from BBC News...

What a shame.
That is the same crossing where the driver in a car committed suicide in 2004 and seven people died including the driver Brian Martin based at Exeter.

Another tragedy. Is it just my imagination, or are these type of incidents escalating? Hardly a week goes by without a something awful happening at a crossing somewhere or other here..... :(

Not railways
A 16 year old girl died on a moped yesterday in Par.
Very very sad :( :( :(

What was the guy doing on the tracks?

Trespassing??

And wanting to commit suicide with no thought of others :mad: :mad:.

Sorry, but how many survive being hit by a train?

There was another at Cherry Hinton, near Cambridge this morning as well, but details unknown at this time.

Very very few you get hit with a train its final :( :(.

I recall during electrification work a BICC worker was caught a glancing blow by a B1 on the Fenman and survived. He was lucky though, most are killed.
