A British Transport Police (BTP) spokesman said: "British Transport
Police is attending a railway crossing near to Milton,
Cambridgeshire, following reports of a train colliding with a tractor
on the line.
"The incident, which involves the 9.56am Kings Lynn to King's Cross
service, was reported to police at approximately 10.45am.
"BTP officers are attending the scene alongside colleagues from
Cambridgeshire Police, Fire and Ambulance Service.
"Train services are currently stopped in this location and we are
liaising closely with Network Rail and the train operating companies
at this time."
Initial reports from police say that the tractor was "clipped" by the
train.
Emergency services were called to the scene including paramedics, but
no one was injured.
