Police have renewed calls for people to exercise vigilance at train level crossings after a man drove his car under boom gates and collided with a train at Yarraman railway station near Dandenong this morning.

Emergency services arrived at the level crossing in Noble Park just after 7.30am following reports of a train and car collision.

Police believe a white Nissan Dualis drove under the boom gates as they were closing and collided with an outbound train.

The driver of the car, a 33-year-old man from Cranbourne West, was not injured.

There were no passengers on board the train at the time of the crash.

Acting Sergeant Kylie Baulch from Springvale Police Station encouraged road users to be responsible in wake of the collision.

“We just want to remind people they shouldn’t try to cross when gates or booms are operating or when red lights are flashing,” Srg. Baulch said.

“Don’t take the risk and try to beat the train at a level crossing as this can too often end in tragedy,” she added.

Investigations into the cause of the collision are ongoing.
