The car was dragged for hundreds of yards after being struck by the 1.36pm Greater Western London to Cheltenham Spa service.

One passenger said he heard a "massive thud" before the train came to a "sudden stop".

Another said a Land Rover had been hit, with photographs posted to social media showing a crumpled vehicle at the front of the train.

Emergency services rushed to the scene but sadly the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
