British Transport Police (BTP) are investigating the death of a driver in Norfolk after his car was struck by a train at a level crossing.
Officers were called to Pleasant level crossing, near Downham Market, yesterday to reports that the 12.56 Kings Lynn to Kings Cross service had struck a car.
The male driver of the Kia Sportage was pronounced dead at the scene and his family have been informed.
Network Rail said the Pleasant crossing is “user-worked” and serves just a small number of houses on a private road.
A statement released by BTP said: “Police are currently working to establish the full circumstances including how the car came to be on the tracks.”
None of the passengers on board the First Capital Connect (FCC) service were injured.
