A heroic dad-of-four has described how he helped terrified passengers out of
the Croydon tram crash wreckage - despite losing a chunk of his face.
Taiye Ajibola, 54, was left trapped under a door after the two-carriage vehicle derailed and flipped over in south London, killing at least seven people.
Bleeding from a massive cut to his face, he managed to drag himself out of the wreckage,while surrounded by screaming commuters and bodies. But instead of immediately rushing to safety,he bravely decided to try to help his fellow passengers to escape - including a hysterical girl.
Taiye told the Croydon Advertiser : "There was a black out, and then I was struggling to get myself out. I was under the door of the tram and there were two women next to me.
