‘The driver, a 21-year-old Prospect man, seemed dazed and was taken to hospital as a precaution,’ police said in a statement.

The car is blocking both directions of the track and will cause major delays to the service throughout the morning.
A crane will be needed to life it from the tracks before it is towed from the scene.
The man was taken to hospital with minor head injuries.
The O-Bahn is a guided track which was built in Adelaide’s north-eastern suburbs in the 1980s. It combines elements of bus and rail transport systems.
