The aftermath of the accident, showing the A244 road bridge, from which the lorry fell, viewed from the station platform, looking towards Claygate.
On 5 November 2010, at approximately 3:30pm, a cement mixer lorry fell off a bridge crossing over the railway line close to Oxshott railway station, and landed on carriages of a passing train.[1] Witnesses stated that the rear of the lorry crashed through the parapet of the bridge and dragged the whole vehicle over the side of the bridge.[2] The eight-carriage train was the 3:05pm South West Trains service from Guildford to London Waterloo.[1] The train was formed of two Class 455 electric multiple units. The lorry, loaded with concrete and weighing 24 tonnes, landed on the sixth carriage, severely crushing the end of the roof.[3] Further damage was sustained to the fifth and sixth, seventh and eighth carriages, with the latter being derailed at its trailing bogie, although the train remained upright.[3] British Transport Police reported that six people on board the train sustained minor injuries whilst the driver of the lorry had sustained more serious injuries.[1] This was later revised to two serious and five minor injuries.[3]
