Morningside Railway Accident
6 October 2016
Firefighters work to extricate the victim of today's train crash
The remains of the car involved in this afternoon's level crossing accident
Members responded to the Morningside Road railway level crossing late this afternoon when a west-bound passenger train hit a car. The driver, the only occupant, was trapped in the car which became wedged between the train and a fence adjacent to Morningside Drive. Firefighters extricated the woman from the wreckage and she was taken to hospital with serious injuries. Members closed Morningside Drive so there was no access from either New North Road or St Lukes Road until accident investigations were concluded and the scene made safe. The Western commuter line also remained closed over the evening peak hour.
