A 15 year old school girl has died when she was struck by a train while walking across a train track. The 15 year old, Elvie wright is reported to have went through a gate on the pedestrian path across the track in Worle Somerset. 

According to what a witness said, Elvie was looking down her phone before the train ran over her.

"The train was quite far away, past the bridge, but I could  see it getting bigger as it approached, so I stopped an waited."

"The girl kept looking down at her phone, like she was checking the time."

"I instinctively closed my eyes and when I opened them about ten seconds later, I could see her lying and facing down on the track, and the train stopped."

Evie's father, Lee Wright, is deeply saddened by this horrible incident and has called out for the completion of the bridge.

"Whilst all this is going on in the background, Children are trying to cross this crossing. Our daughter is not the first to die like this", Evie's father, Lee Wright said.

The footbridge council manager, Roger Willmott, has said that the building of the footbridge is now an obligation. He told the inquest that the 'Network Rail fully supports the construction of a bridge but it is not our responsibility to provide it. The obligation is on the developers to build the foot bridge'.
