A train collided with a car driving across tracks in southern China's Hunan Province on Tuesday (June 26).

CCTV video, captured in Xiangtan City, shows a driver-training car speeding to cross a rail being crashed by a train moving along it.

The car is pushed to the other side of the rail and knocks down the light pole.

According to reports, a tyre flew out for five metres and stopped on the rail.

The runaway car driver named Dai went back to the scene that afternoon after he was treated in a nearby clinic.

According to Dai, he closed the car windows to open the air-conditioner, so he did not hear the alert.

He suffered minor injuries to his hand and head.

As he went back to the site of the accident in time after treatment, police have not punished him yet.

But he had to pay for the damaged road facilities.
