One man has died after a car was struck by a freight train at a level crossing in an Oxfordshire village.
The crash at the Sandy Lane crossing in Yarnton, north of Oxford, was reported to the British Transport Police at 3.40pm.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
"It is believed two people were in the vehicle at the time. Sadly one of them, a man, was pronounced dead at the scene," a police spokeswoman said in a statement.
"The train involved was a Trafford Park to Southampton freight service, and the driver is reported to be shaken but uninjured.
"Officers are working to establish the full circumstances including how the car came to be on the tracks at the time."
Train passengers on Cross Country and First Great Western services are being warned that they face delays of up to one hour because of the crash, according to the National Rail Enquiries website.
Buses are replacing trains between Oxford and Banbury.
First Great Western said it was expecting the disruption to continue into the early hours of Thursday morning.
