Sarah de Lagarde, the woman who tragically lost her right arm and leg after being run over by two Northern Line trains at High Barnet station on September 30, 2022, has spoken out against Transport for London (TfL) for allegedly blaming her for the incident.
Sarah, a mother of two, explained that she slipped and fell into the gap between the train and platform on a rainy evening, breaking her nose and knocking herself unconscious. She eventually regained consciousness and cried out for help, but no one heard her.
Shockingly, she said the Tube driver saw her handbag on the platform, assumed it was lost property, and continued his journey without checking for a person in need. Moments later, the train departed at 9:54 p.m., running over her arm.
A second train later ran over her leg before she was finally discovered.
She said: “TfL is blaming me for being run over and crushed by not one, but two London Underground trains.
“TfL’s initial reaction was to label me as a drunk woman wearing high heels, both claims were baseless and have since been withdrawn.
“TfL has posters up across its network urging everyone to “be kind”, which couldn’t be further from how they have treated me.
she added: “I knew in that moment, there was a high chance I was going to die on those Northern Line tracks.
“I started to think about my children, and I knew I owed it to them to come home. I thought to myself, there is no way I am dying here. I need to be with my daughters.
“Miraculously, I survived, but it cost me dearly – the first train took my arm, and the second train took my leg.
“That night I also lost my mobility, my independence, my dignity and, above all, my ability to hug my two young children with both arms.”
Malian couple Halima Cissé and Abdelkader Arby, parents of the world’s only surviving set of nonuplets (nine babies born at once), have taken to social media to celebrate their children’s 4th birthday with joy and gratitude.

Here are some rare images of our treasures just after they were born, in their tiny hatches, and a precious photo of their mum Halima during her exceptional pregnancy.
