Melbourne train crashes into car stuck on level crossing tracks

A train has crashed into a car that got stuck on tracks in Melbourne's south-west this morning.

Police were told a car was crossing the tracks at a level crossing on Hudsons Road in Spotswood about 6.45am when it stalled.

The man driving could not get the car to restart, so he jumped out as the train approached.

Metro Train representatives were on-site helping to remove passengers.

"The car was towed away and the train was able to be moved to the nearby station where passengers were allowed to exit to the platform," an FRV spokesperson said.

"The FRV Commander deemed the event under control 10 minutes after arriving on scene."

Police are investigating the circumstances of the collision.

Train services have resumed but commuters have been told to brace for delays and allow for extra travel time.
