    A train driver has been cut free from his cab after the service crashed into a footbridge, which had collapsed after being hit by a tipper truck.

    A warning message was sent out, but the Nottingham to Norwich service was unable to stop in time at Barrow upon Soar, Leicestershire. The driver, who was trapped for two and half hours, suffered leg injuries. The six passengers were unhurt.
