The Nocton rail accident was a rail accident that happened on 28 February 2002 after a vehicle smashed through a wall and fell onto the tracks. The driver, who was trapped in his van, was talking to emergency services on his mobile phone when he was killed by a two-carriage Sprinter train (156409). The front carriage of the train was derailed, remaining upright. 14 occupants of the train were injured. The incident happened exactly a year to the day after the similar Great Heck rail crash.
