theGatwick Express after looking out of the window and being hit by an oncoming train

An onlooker said: 'He lifted his head out and basically he didn't notice that the train was coming, so all you see is basically a head gone.

'The head flew off basically. I actually ran because it was disgusting but all I saw was a head (that) flew away.
'People screamed, the train stopped and people were screaming and they were coming out.
