An electric tram has been involved in a collision with a car, close to Port Jack in King Edward Road, Onchan. 

A tram heading towards Douglas hit a red Jaguar as it crossed the tram lines, while pulling out of the car park at the Skandia office complex.

The car was badly damaged and the tram was left with buckled panels.

Police moved the car from the tracks and passengers finished their journey into Douglas by bus.

The tram was taken to the Manx Electricy Railway depot for repairs.

Director of Public Transport Ian Longworth says the car was in the yellow hatched crossing box when the collision occured, and is telling motorists they must not stop on level crossings.

The incident happened at about 4pm today (Monday).
