High heel teen falls under train

2009 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A TEENAGE girl died after slipping in high heels and falling underneath a train as she ran along the platform.

Pretty Megan Moore was running alongside one of the carriages waving to friends after a night out when she disappeared beneath the train.

The 16-year-old's pals could only watch in horror as she slipped over and fell between the platform and the moving train.

Today one boy described the moment terrified screams replaced the laughter that had filled the carriage.

The 19-year-old said: "Megan got off the train and started running and then she just suddenly slipped.

"She was wearing high heels and she fell in the gap between the train and the platform.

"At one point she was literally in front of me and then seconds later she was on the track.

"Everyone had their heads in their hands. Everyone was crying and screaming.

"Her best mate was just screaming. It was horrific. She was utterly distraught."

Tributes

Emergency service crews raced to Angmering Station near Littlehampton, West Sussex, on Saturday night but the teenager was confirmed dead at the scene.

Flowers and tributes were today being left at the platform by devastated friends and family.

One said: "Megan, my best friend. I miss you so much. Rest in peace cheeky. I love you so much."

A dedicated Facebook page called Rest in Peace Megan Moore was also set up hours after the incident.

Michelle McDonald wrote: "Heaven must have been an angel short, all the girls are gonna miss you. My thoughts go to your family and closest friends. Sleep tight babe. Good Night xxx."

Jessica Maynard said: "Your definitley going to be one of the brightest stars up there babe, just remember God only takes the best. Rest in peace angel and keep shining down upon us all to keep us smiling ? xxx"

A spokesman for British Transport Police said today it was not treating the incident as suspicious.

The spokesman added: "Shortly before midnight on Saturday we were called to Angmering Station where a person had fallen under a train and suffered fatal injuries.

"The full circumstances surrounding the incident are being investigated

Definitely Toss: Repeat
Thanks, but we've already received this story. It sounds much more like an unfortunate accident than the blatant stupidity required for an award.
