Prestatyn: Man cleared of killing friend who saved him from train

On Friday the court heard the men had travelled in Mr Ford’s van from Urmston, Manchester, to Greenacres caravan park, Prestatyn.

Prosecutor William Hughes KC told the jury that Mr Kennedy deliberately sat between the railway tracks after he “saw an oncoming train”.

“Keith Ford attempted to pull or drag the defendant clear and out of the path of the oncoming train,” he said.

“The defendant later asserted he did this for a ‘giggle’ and joked [to Mr Ford at the time] that he would catch the train to the beach.”

The train driver applied the emergency brakes on seeing the men but heard an impact.

Mr Ford had serious crush injuries after being struck by the Holyhead to Birmingham train. Mr Kennedy had a hand injury.
