Pub worker fell onto Tube tracks and was hit by a train

The passenger, who had consumed alcohol, staggered and fell from the platform, remaining on the tracks for approximately two minutes before being struck by a Metropolitan line train. Investigators found that the passenger’s intoxication level severely impaired their motor functions, and the presence of cables in the designated safety area hindered their ability to seek refuge.
