Amazon Driver Killed in Fatal Level Crossing Crash Near Teynham
Brandon Hatcher, a 23-year-old Amazon delivery driver and father from Ashford, tragically died after his van was struck by a train at Bax Crossing in Tonge, near Sittingbourne. His family and friends have paid heartfelt tributes, describing him as a kind, funny, and caring person who was deeply loved by many, including his young daughter and partner. The family expressed hope that lessons will be learned from this accident to prevent similar tragedies in the future, emphasizing that the fatal incident could have been avoided. A community fundraiser has raised over £11,000 to support Brandon's family during this difficult time, with many colleagues and friends sharing their sorrow and fond memories. The level crossing where the accident occurred is manually operated and has been the subject of safety concerns, with new safety measures installed earlier in 2024 following previous near misses. Amazon and the local community continue to support the family as they mourn the loss of a beloved member.
