A policewoman who rescued survivors of the Paddington rail crash is living in her car, battling stress and depression.
Aphra Howard-Garde, who suffers with post-traumatic stress, has been on long-term sick leave from the Metropolitan Police for the past 18 months.
Four months ago, her three-bedroom house in Crawley was repossessed when she failed to meet mortgage payments.
She is now living in a red Peugeot 106 with her partner and says she feels abandoned by a system meant to protect her.
No doubt she'll write a blog about it and get a book deal . Me? - cynical!
