The recent railway accident at Wembley [north-west London]: the wreckage on the line, 1909. 'The accident occurred at about six o'clock on the evening of Friday, July 2. As the 5.35 from Broad Street to Watford was entering Wembley and Sudbury Station, the second coach fouled the points at a crossing and was overturned. The engine and the first coach remained upright; the rear coaches dashed into the second coach and wrecked it. One passenger was fatally injured, and others were wounded less seriously'. From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
