Woman And Child Hurt In Level Crossing Crash

A train has hit a car on a level crossing in South Yorkshire, seriously injuring a woman and child who were in the vehicle.

Emergency crews were at the scene of the accident at the Beech Hill crossing, Finningley.

After some confusion over the number of occupants in the car, the British Transport Police said two people were aboard the vehicle.

"The car contained two occupants, a woman and a child. The child sustained serious injuries and has been airlifted to hospital in Sheffield. The driver, a woman, received minor injuries and has been taken to hospital in Doncaster," a spokesman said.

"The train, a Lincoln to Doncaster service, is damaged but has remained upright and on the tracks. Passengers have been removed from the train and there are no reports of injuries at this time."

Officials were trying to determine what caused the collision.

The East Midlands Trains said the incident had happened at 12.35pm.

"Our staff ensured that passengers were safely escorted from the train and these passengers will be taken forward to Doncaster by alternative road transport," said a spokesman.

"We will work with Network Rail and the British Transport Police to ensure those involved in this incident are given every assistance."

The spokesman added that a bus service is operating on the affected route between Lincoln and Doncaster.
