Teenager dies 'playing' on hi-speed track out of Paddington

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4551758.stm

A teenager was killed when he was hit by a high-speed train, police
said.

The 17-year-old was on the tracks at Hanwell Station in west London
when he was struck just after midnight by the 23.54 Heathrow to
Paddington Express.

Four other youths who were with him managed to get out of the way of
the train which travels up to 100mph. The victim's relatives have yet
to be told.

That area has also been hit recently with yet more heavy graffiti
including all over the newly decorated Hanwell Station.

The BBC are now saying that the victime was involved in spraying graffiti at
the time, though this does not appear at news.bbc.co.uk
