SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- A train struck a vehicle on the tracks in Santa Clara Tuesday afternoon, an Amtrak spokeswoman said.

The train was delayed roughly two hours, Leeds said, but no injuries were reported among the crew or passengers.

Leeds referred questions about the vehicle and any occupants to the Santa Clara Police Department, which could not immediately be reached for comment.
