A train collided with a bridge which had been accidentally demolished by a lorry. The lead upAt approximately 06:30 UTC a Tipper lorry delivering quarry stone (ballast for track formation) had delivered its stone adjacent to the tracks along a railway access road but had not lowered his rear tipping body. This came into contact with the wrought iron pedestrian bridge which crosses the railway knocking it off its pillars and onto the tracks, by high street in Barrow on Soar village centre. This blocked all four lines. The Network Rail Employee who had been supervising the delivery made an emergency call to the Signaller at Leicester power signal box and asked for all train movements to be stopped in the area. The lorry driver immediately notified the police who also told Network Rail. The crashThe 06:13 East Midlands Trains service running from Nottingham to Norwich received the emergency call as did all of the other trains, however too late; travelling at over 60 mph the train couldn't stop in time and collided with rubble from the footbridge at 06:33 UTC. The train took some 50 yards to stop. All other trains avoided the incident stopping when receiving the call. 6 passengers travelling on the train received minor injuries. The driver suffered worse injuries, having to be cut free and suffering two broken legs. One resident described two huge bangs. The first of the lorry hitting the bridge, the second the train hitting it minutes later. ReactionEmergency services were quick to the scene. Fire brigade chief Andy Dermott said about the crash "It was still dark so the driver had no chance to stop in time"{{Citation needed|date=August 2014}} He also described the rescue effort "It was a long, slow, painstaking extraction in a difficult, confined space. The ridged construction of the train is not designed for that".{{Citation needed|date=August 2014}} References{{Refbegin}}
