SUNDRIDGE PARK: Beckenham girl dies after being hit by train
1:00pm Friday 5th February 2010 in
AN 18-YEAR-OLD girl from Beckenham has died after being hit by a train.
The incident happened at Sundridge Park last night (February 4) when the 7.30pm Grove Park to Bromley North service was pulling into the station.
Energency services were called but they could not save the teenager who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The manager of the nearby Crown Restaurant, Jivko Jivkov, watched as the emergency services arrived.
Mr Jivkov said: “I was here with a guest and we kept seeing police cars coming, literally every minute.
“There were so many police cars and I think they closed the station for a couple of hours.”
He says a police officer stood on the railway bridge for about 15 minutes to stop people from walking over it.
The 28-year-old added: “It is a shock.
“I have been here for about four months and no major incidents have happened like that.
“She was an 18-year-old girl and it is really sad for her and her family.”
British Transport Police officers are now preparing a report about the incident for the coroner.

Why are you being so rude?
I've seen your name on here a few times & I must say you're a very rude person. I'm from Beckenham, the girl that died is from Beckenham. I may know this girl, hence why I asked what the girl's name was. ''It's Me Again'' you're a stupid man, clear of the site.

I'm sure that the name will be published if the family allow it.
Any further information would, no doubt, only be published if properly substantiated or at least double-sourced ... not just repeating innuendo from smart-arsed anonymous commenters.

You Selfish selfish person, if you did find out the girls name, and the thought you might know the girl who died what are you going to do with the information? Gloat & gossip about it? Lets face it, if you did know the person I'm sure you would have known about it by know.
You are just a nosey interfering busy body who has been found out by your sheer greed to find the poor girls family's name. . . . . . There is a name for people like you.
It's Me again !
