The car carrying nine people was hit by the SriBilah Utama train traveling from Rantau Prapat to Medan, the report said, citing police.

According to North Sumatra Traffic Police Director Firman Darmansyah, the driver was taken to the hospital in critical condition but later died, while eight passengers were pronounced dead at the scene.

The railway crossing was not equipped with automatic barriers, the police said.
