The collision occurred at an unguarded crossing on a smaller road, according to the police.

To find out what happened, we have initiated a preliminary investigation regarding negligence in traffic, but we have no suspect, says Caroline Karlsson, press spokesperson at the police to TT.

Traffic on both the railway line and the road is stopped. Exactly which road it concerns is unclear. According to Hallandsposten, it is on the HNJ-line, the railway line between Halmstad and Nässjö, where the train was driven.

We expect to work for a couple of hours more and both the stop of the road crossing and the train traffic will last equally long, says Caroline Karlsson.

The alarm about the accident came in at 16.53.
