Driver arrested over train crash

The car was in collision with the train at a level crossing

A woman has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving in connection with a collision between a car and a miniature train.

Train driver Kevin Crouch, 31, from Mottingham, south east London, was killed in the crash at a level crossing near Dymchurch, Kent, on Sunday.

The 22-year-old woman, from the Romney Marsh area, who was driving the car was arrested on Friday morning.

She was questioned by officers at Folkestone Police Station and has been released on police bail.

Hotline for passengers

Officers are continuing their investigations, a police spokesman said.

The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Light Railway was closed for two days while inquiries were carried out.

Kent Police are keen to hear from anyone who was on the train at the time of the incident and has not yet come foward.

The steam engine and the front carriage derailed in the accident at the crossing in Burmarsh Road, which left Mr Crouch trapped in his cab.

He died at the scene and 20 of the train's passengers suffered minor injuries.

The 13-mile-long railway was established in 1927 and crosses roads in 11 different places.
