Man dies after being struck by train at level crossing West Midlands Ambulance Service said two rapid response vehicles, an incident support officer and a Community First Responder attended. A spokesman said: "On arrival it was apparent from the outset that nothing could be done to save the casualty who it appears had collided with a train and who sadly was confirmed dead at the scene." The man's death comes just hours after the parents of two teenage girls killed in a level crossing accident pledged to continue their fight for improved safety. Olivia Bazlinton, 14, and Charlotte Thompson, 13, were hit by a train in 2005 as they crossed the tracks at Elsenham station footpath crossing in Essex. At Basildon Magistrates Court this morning, Network Rail (NR) pleaded guilty to three charges under the Health and Safety Act in relation to the girls' deaths. Olivia's father Chris Bazlinton and Charlotte's father Reg Thompson spoke of their grief outside court and vowed to make sure Network Rail carried out promised changes. On Saturday 15-year-old Katie Littlewood was hit by a train at Johnson's Footpath Crossing in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire. Her death, which is being treated as a "tragic accident" by Network Rail and British Transport Police (BTP), occurred just a few miles down the same stretch of track where Olivia and Charlotte were killed.
