Seri Alam district police chief Sohaimi Ishak said no injuries were reported.

He said that in the 9.40am incident, the train engine, driven by a 32-year-old man, was hauling 31 wagons on its way from Pasir Gudang station to Johor Port station.

“However, the train suddenly collided with the front left side of the car driven by a 41-year-old man who was about to enter the main gate of Johor Port,” he said in a statement.

Sohaimi said initial investigation attributed the incident to the negligence of the car driver who failed to notice the oncoming train.

The case is being investigated under Section 79(2) of the Road Transport Act 1987.

“The public is advised to always abide by the road rules and regulations as well as traffic instructions, especially during peak hours,” he said.

Earlier, a 40-second video viralled on Facebook showed the car moving towards the port’s main gate and then being hit by a train.
