A woman pensioner who had both her legs cut off but amazingly survived when she fell in front of a train, was fighting for her life in hospital today.


The 60-year-old was believed to have thrown herself off an overbridge as a non-stop train passed through a station several miles from her home.


Police said that she lost both legs when the train ran over her although she and the limbs were rushed to hospital in the remote hope of reattaching them.  More Read
