A JR train collided with a car at a rail crossing in Saitama at about 8:10 a.m. Sunday, killing one person in the vehicle.
None of the about 1,000 passengers on the train were hurt, according to the Saitama prefectural police.
The 10-car train was traveling on the JR Kawagoe Line toward Nisshin Station from Sashiogi Station. The train managed to stay on the tracks and operations were resumed after a brief suspension, according to East Japan Railway Co.
The car drove onto the crossing when the crossing gate was about to close, the police said.
