A collision involving two vehicles at a level crossing near Boston led to disruption for motorists and rail passengers this morning.
The incident in Station Road, Hubbert’s Bridge, was reported to Lincolnshire Police at 5.40am.
A spokesman for Lincolnshire Police said: “One of the vehicles struck the barrier and ended up on the tracks, with the other on the side of the road.
“Both vehicles were recovered and Network Rail has attended to assess damage and carry out any repairs needed. The road re-opened just after 8.30am.”
A spokesman for Network Rail said: “Unfortunately, quite a lot of damage was caused to one of the gates and the crossing had to be closed while our teams carried out repairs. Trains were either cancelled or delayed due to the severity of damage, with the first train passing the crossing about 8.20am.”
