A man was been rushed to hospital after his car collided with a train at a railway crossing in Adelaide’s southwestern suburbs, halting train services on Saturday morning.
Police and emergency services were called to the intersection of Train Track Sixth Ave and Railway Tce at Ascot Park, following reports of a collision just before 7am.
The driver of a Mitsubishi station wagon – a 26-year-old man – sustained non-life threatening injuries in the crash.
He was taken to hospital for treatment but is believed to have escaped with a broken arm.
The incident forced train services to stop on the Seaford rail line between Adelaide Railway Station Oakland Railway Station.
Services on the Flinders rail line between Flinders and Adelaide railway stations were also suspended in both directions.
But, trains between Seaford and Oakland in both directions were still operating.
The Flinders and Seaford rail lines reopened around 12.30pm.
The three affected routes were Flinders to City, Noarlunga to City and the Seaford to City.
Adelaide Metro advised passengers to use regular bus services while substitute buses are being organised.
No one else was injured during the incident, according to police, as investigations continue into the circumstances that lead to the crash.
Motorists were also advised to expect traffic delays in the area when restrictions were place while emergency crews attend to the scene.
