A person has died after being hit by a train at a level crossing south of Diss in the early hours of this morning.
British Transport Police (BTP) and the East of England Ambulance Service were called to the pedestrian crossing at Mellis in Suffolk at 1.12am to reports that a person had been struck by a train.
Officers and paramedics attended but the person was pronounced dead at the scene.
A spokeswoman for BTP said officers were working to identify the person and inform their next of kin before a file is prepared for the coroner.
