A car was struck by a train Tuesday night in Galloway Township after the driver mistakenly turned onto railroad tracks, according to police.
The incident occurred around 8:20 p.m. when a Ventnor man was driving north on Pomona Road. Instead of making a right turn onto the cross street, the driver inadvertently turned onto the train tracks, where his vehicle became stuck, police said.
The driver was able to exit the car safely before attempting to call for help. Moments later, an eastbound New Jersey Transit train on the Atlantic City Line collided with the unoccupied vehicle.
No injuries were reported among the driver, train crew or passengers.
Train service experienced delays Tuesday evening as a result of the crash. New Jersey Transit Police are investigating the incident.
