A GO train and a vehicle have collided just east of Port Credit.
The train was the Aldershot 12:01 p.m. train headed to Union Station.
Peel police say the crash happened at Alexandra Avenue and Fourth Street in Mississauga.
A man was the only person in the car and police said the car was not on the tracks but rather hit the train.
The driver was walking around after the crash and he was transported to a trauma centre in non-life-threatening condition, stable, awake and talking.
There were delays and cancellations during the police investigation, but trains have since returned to regular service with minor delays of five to 10 minutes.
UPDATE: Police and crews worked to clean up the tracks and move the damaged vehicle. All three tracks are now clear and we expect to run a regular rush hour service. Trains will have to move slow through the area, so customers can expected minor delays of 5-10 minutes.

Correction: An earlier version of this story said the train hit the car. Police later confirmed with CityNews that it was the car that hit the train.
