Emergency services are at Morningside train station in Auckland where a car has been hit by a train shortly before 4.30pm.
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.
The blue hatchback then spun off the tracks and its airbags deployed, she said.
"It looks like they're working on someone in the car."
Two fire trucks, police cars and an ambulance were at the scene, which had now been cordoned off.
Fire said a woman was stuck in the car and had suffered serious injuries in the crash.
Crews were working to free her from the car at 4.38pm.
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.
He said no one was allowed off the train, which had been on its way to Swanson from Britomart.
