Helicopter on ground in Horn Lane

On my way to North Acton passed two police cards outside Acton Main line. On the way back there was also a fire engine and helicopter blocking Horn Lane at Acton main line.Any one know why?

No idea Bob but I watched the helicopter hovering very low overhead and then come down to land but wasn't sure where.Heavy traffic on Horn Lane heading towards the A40.

Hmm... Someone has been hit by a train in the "Ealing Broadway" area. Wonder if this could be connected. Services certainly suspended at Acton Main Line.

Fatal road accident in Horn Lane somewhere as it has been closed off by the metal recycling yard.

Busy time for emergency workers in borough of Ealing then!

How awful to hear that there was a fatality.Horn Lane is becoming such a busy thoroughfare nowadays and everyone seems in such a hurry!

It was a fatality on the railway not road, trains are running again now.

It landed at around 10.40 after several attempts and took off again at around 11.10, sadly, empty. Here's a link to the video:http://bit.ly/gYdcVH

I assume suicide rather than accident?it stopped all trains from Maidenhead for quite a while.
