Crash inquiry signalman suspended

Version 0 of 1.

A signalman has been suspended by Network Rail as part of its inquiry into a fatal crash on a level crossing in Herefordshire.

Jane Harding, 52, a hairdresser from Marden, was a passenger in one of two cars on the crossing when a train crashed into it on Saturday.

Safety barriers were up at the crossing at Moreton-on-Lugg, British Transport Police have said.

Network Rail said the suspension was a matter of routine in such cases.

Mrs Harding's husband, Mark, who was driving, suffered pelvis and shoulder injuries.

A mother and her 11-year-old daughter in the second car suffered minor injuries.
