SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE been injured after a cement mixing lorry fell onto a passenger train in Surrey, England.
The train was travelling from Guildford to London Waterloo, when the cement mixer fell as it passed through Oxshott shortly after 3pm.
A spokesman for South West Trains said:
The vehicle landed on some of the train’s coaches of an eight-coach unit. So far, there are no reports of fatalities though it is believed there are several people injured.
A British Transport Police spokesman said that four passengers suffered minor injuries, and that the driver is “more seriously injured”. A Surrey Fire and Rescue spokeswoman added that two people are trapped in the wreckage of the train, saying:
The lorry has hit a train and derailed it. Two people are medically trapped, meaning they need to be stabilised before they can be taken off.
