How a woman hit by two Tube trains is taking on TfL
A woman who lost an arm and leg after being run over by two Tube trains has issued a legal claim at the High Court against Transport for London.
Sarah de Lagarde was travelling home from work on 30 September 2022 when she fell on to the track at High Barnet. She was run over by the train she had been travelling on as it left the station and then by a second train.
She had to have her right arm and right leg amputated as a result of her injuries. Sarah's legal claim states she was on the tracks undetected by staff for 15 minutes, despite her screams for help, due to a series of safety failings by TfL.
The claim also questions whether TfL breached its own safety procedures and whether those procedures are fit for purpose.
大象传媒 Radio London's Eddie Nestor spoke to Sarah last year about the accident.
