Sprinter rail lines were shut down shortly before noon Saturday after a car hit a light pole along the line, knocking it onto the tracks.
The crash took place at 11:47 a.m., and involved two vehicles, Oceanside police Lt. Karen Laser said. One vehicle, a Chevy Surburan, rear-ended a sedan at the intersection, and then struck the light pole. Airbags deployed on the Suburban, and the driver was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Laser said.
Lines were closed in both directions, as fire officials and North County Transit District crews responded to the accident and attempted to clear the line. The rail lines reopened about an hour later, Laser said.

Today s launch of the new Coaster locomotives and overhauled passenger cars underscores NCTD s commitment to its mission to deliver safe, convenient, reliable, and user-friendly public transportation services, Kranz said. This rollout is a huge step in improving Coaster services. The new Coaster locomotives will increase service reliability, improve the rider experience, and are more environmentally friendly.
A team gutted each overhauled coach one at a time before re-installing upgraded seats, carpet, upgraded LED lights and some charging stations. Each car then gets a new coat of paint in a new color scheme. The NCTD hopes to have all cars overhauled by 2026.
