A cyclist has suffered life-threatening burn injuries after riding down the stairs of a railway station and crashing onto a live rail track (link below.)

The man in his 40s overshot the platform at St Leonards Warrior Square Station in Hastings, East Sussex.

It is believed he landed on his head on the 750 volt live rail.

British Transport Police said several members of station staff and members of the public witnessed the incident just before 0900 BST.

The man, who has not been identified, is being treated at the Conquest Hospital, in St Leonards.
