Two boys killed by Underground train in Barking

by Murdo Maguire — last modified 13-01-2007 11:11

Two young boys have been hit and killed by a London Underground train in Barking in east London.

British Transport Police said they were part of a group of boys who had been writing graffiti in a depot late on Friday night. They were spotted by depot security staff and ran off - but two of them were hit by a District Line train entering the sidings for the night.

The circumstances of the incident are under investigation. Security staff called the police when they spotted the boys but police say their officers do not chase people in these circumstances because of the dangers from trains and electrified equipment.

Whatever the circumstances, practical accident support, compensation claim assistance and legal advice is available free of charge from our expert First Response team on freephone 0800 037 1066.
