An off-duty policeman saw a high-speed train hit a car on a level crossing, killing seven people in Berkshire. He had contacted emergency services to say the car was stopped on the crossing, but did not have time to avert the tragedy, police said. The 1735 First Great Western Paddington to Plymouth service was derailed in Saturday's crash, near Ufton Nervet.
