Light rail service on parts of Line L2 in Aarhus was suspended early Tuesday after a car collided with a train near Olof Palmes Allé and Brendstrupgårdsvej.
The disruption affects the route between Aarhus Central Station, Aarhus University Hospital and Lystrup. Some L2 departures may also be cancelled, with passengers directed to check Midttrafik and Rejseplanen for updates and alternative travel options.
Police duty officer Peter Andersen said a recovery vehicle would need to lift the train back onto the tracks before it could continue. He could not give an estimate for when service would resume.
The accident was reported at 11:32 p.m. No one was injured. Police said no one had been arrested and there was no suspicion that alcohol played a role.
