Oxfordshire's rail crash survivor

At 0810 BST on Tuesday 5 October 1999, a First Great Western train heading for London collided head-on with a Bedwyn-bound Thames Train. Thirty one people were killed and hundreds of people were injured.

Colin Field, from Upton, near Harwell, in Oxfordshire, was on the train heading for London. Half of his body was burnt in the crash and he's lucky to be alive. Ten years on, he speaks to BBC Oxford about his memories of the Paddington train crash.
