The incident happened about 2am on Friday near Regent Road roundabout in Eccles, Salford.

A man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving and taken to hospital with injuries which are not believed to be life-changing or life-threatening.

Pictures from the scene show the car came to a rest upside down and surrounded by debris, it was later hoisted from the tracks and removed.

The road reopened at 7.30am but there was widespread disruption to rail services on Northern, TransPennine Express and Transport for Wales.

Network Rail issued an update on Friday evening confirming all lines have now reopened but warned “there will still be a significant amount of disruption, trains may still be cancelled, revised or delayed”.

Passengers can use their tickets via any reasonable route at no extra cost.

Northern says its trains are affected between Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Airport, between Wigan North Western and Manchester Victoria, and also between Chester and Leeds / Manchester Victoria.

It has been operating a rail replacement bus service between Newton-le-Willows and Manchester Victoria and also between Earlestown and Manchester Piccadilly.

Meanwhile TransPennine Express reported its services have been disrupted between Liverpool Lime Street and Hull / Manchester Victoria / Newcastle, and also between Lancaster and Manchester Airport.

It is advising passengers travelling between Liverpool and Manchester stations to go via Warrington Central. Rail replacement buses are running between Liverpool Lime Street and Manchester Victoria, calling at Lea Green and Newton-le-Willows.
