'I Lost Both My Legs Under A Train - Then The Rail Company Sued Me!' by Darknluvly(f): 12:52pm On Apr 30, 2015 |
What seemed like just a few Seconds changed the entire life of 29 year old Diana Morgan-Hill who had her own flourishing PR firm in London.. A vibrant young and energetic firm owner within a matter of Seven Seconds became a double amputee as she dashed to catch up a train is a rush to see a friend in 1990. Still reminiscing about all the tragedy and pain, Unknowingly to Diana More torture was on its way as Just seven days after the accident, when she was still in hospital, traumatised and heavily sedated, the rail company announced its intention to sue Diana. Its aim was to invoke a 100-year-old by- law and prosecute her for trespassing on the railway line. It's Been 25 years since the incident, Diana who has written a book about it shares her story below: 'My fight with what was then British Rail was worse even than losing my legs,' 'I'd just come out of intensive care. I'd lost my mobility; I'd nearly lost my life and BR put out a press statement saying they were suing me. The cruelty was astounding.' 'My new business was going well and I was enjoying myself,' she says. 'That evening I was going to meet a friend for supper and I wasn't in a rush. 'But as I walked over the bridge at Wandsworth Common station, the 6.29pm train to Victoria was pulling in. I knew I'd have to wait half an hour if I missed it, so I ran down the stairs and across the platform to the train. 'I had my right foot on the running board (the step under the door) and was raising the other when the train jerked ferociously and pulled away. My right foot slipped, I clung to the doorframe and then the train jolted again. 'Then my left leg dropped below the running board and I fell into the gap between the platform and the train. I was wedged there, crushed, terrified, and the train moved on. 'Four hundred tons of metal were rolling against me, crushing my ribs — they were all broken — and I screamed: "Stop the train!" But it just picked up speed and carried on moving. 'Then a wheel caught my right leg and I was pulled down. I felt a tugging sensation, then nothing. When I came to, the train had stopped and I was trapped underneath it. 'I knew my left leg had gone because it was under the wheel of the train. Then 650 volts of electricity from the train line hit me, and the pain was obliterating. http://9jamagazine..com/2015/04/i-lost-both-my-legs-under-train-then.html
