A Caltrain struck a vehicle after its driver turned onto the tracks and traveled more than 100 feet before being hit Wednesday morning, a spokesperson for the transit agency said.
The collision was reported around 6 a.m. near the Broadway crossing in Burlingame involving northbound train No. 501 heading from San Jose to San Francisco, Caltrain spokesperson Randol White said.
The driver of the vehicle was taken to a hospital but none of the 36 passengers on the train reported any injuries.
The passengers on train No. 501 were stuck on board for hours while crews worked to remove the wreckage of the vehicle and make repairs to the train's front-end plow, White said.
The train was eventually able to be moved to the Broadway station by about 9 a.m. to transfer the passengers and regular Caltrain service was resuming. Bus shuttles from SamTrans assisted to take other passengers along the Caltrain system during the disruption, according to White.
The condition of the vehicle driver was not immediately available. The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office Transit Police Bureau is investigating the collision.
