A WOMAN who leant over a station platform to be sick was hit in the head by a 65mph train – and SURVIVED.

Amazingly, the 28-year-old wasn’t knocked on to the tracks and suffered only a fractured skull and cut face.

The driver of the Watford to Gatwick express blew his horn and hit the brakes when he spotted the woman at Purley Oaks station in Croydon, South London.

But he was unable to prevent the accident at 7.20pm on Thursday – which resulted in severe delays for hundreds of commuters.

A spokeswoman for the London Ambulance Service said: “A woman was taken to St George’s Hospital in Tooting with head injuries but was fully conscious.”
