As If Barfing In Public Wasn't Bad Enough

A British woman suffered a fractured skull when she was hit by an express train as she leaned over a platform to puke.

The Watford Junction to Gatwick service was traveling at 65 mph when it struck the 28-year-old woman at Purley Oaks station in Croydon, south London. A police spokesman said she was found at the bottom of some steps in the station and taken to a local hospital with serious head injuries.

The driver of the train from Watford Junction reported that the incident happened so quickly, that he was only able to sound the horn just prior to the impact.
