A Herald reporter at the scene said it appeared the car had been sitting on the tracks in an area marked by yellow lines when the train hit it "dead centre" on Morningside Dr. Auckland Transport said train passengers should expect cancellations and delays on the Western line due to an emergency services incident at Morningside. An eye witness on the train told the Herald he could see fire crews using the jaws of life to try and remove the woman from the car.
