A Tri-Rail train struck a disabled vehicle on the tracks in Delray Beach on Wednesday, according to police. No injuries were reported.

The car stalled on the railroad tracks near West Atlantic Avenue and Congress Avenue. Police said the occupants got out safely before the train hit it.

West Atlantic Avenue is closed in both directions between Interstate 95 and Congress Avenue while emergency crews work at the scene and investigators continue their review. Police urged drivers to avoid the area and use alternate routes.

Traffic delays are expected while crews clear the scene and officials assess the railroad crossing. Commuters who use the Tri-Rail line or the Atlantic Avenue corridor should plan for slower trips until the road reopens. The story is developing, and police have not said when the closure will end.
