BBC Radio London presenter Jo Good has resumed her broadcasting duties two weeks after sustaining four fractures to her face in a train crash near Elstow, Bedfordshire.
The collision on June 19 resulted in the death of East Midlands Railway driver Shaun Burton and left 162 people injured, with 102, including Good, requiring hospital treatment.
Speaking on her show, "Late Night Jo," on Friday night, Good recounted the incident and expressed gratitude to emergency services and a train guard who assisted in the evacuation. She had been traveling from an event in Market Harborough to London St Pancras when her carriage was struck from behind by a London-bound express train, causing it to partially overturn.
"We are so relieved to have Jo back on air doing what she does best," said Sara David, editor of BBC Radio London. "All of the team at Radio London and her listeners have been wishing her well. We are so utterly grateful she's okay."
Good described being thrown from her seat and hitting her face during the collision, resulting in the fractures. She recalled the immediate aftermath as surprisingly silent, with passengers in a state of deep shock rather than high drama as often depicted in films. Her phone, along with those of other passengers, began emitting alerts stating they had been in a crash, accompanied by a siren.
She detailed being on the carriage floor as items fell around her before a "very, very, very brave guard" arrived to manage the evacuation. Due to the carriage having partially rolled in a remote location, passengers had to jump down to disembark and subsequently waited in a nearby field.
