A single male occupant of the car somehow survived the gnarly wreckage — he was arrested and taken to the hospital. The MTA could not confirm what charges he faces or the extent of his injuries.

Fortunately, no one on board the early morning train suffered any injuries.

The MTA is working to determine what led to the collision.

Service was back up and running shortly after 7 a.m.
