From the BBC (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-16008274):

Quote
One of Devon's main railway lines was closed after a car crashed into a bridge above it.

The Chrysler Voyager hit a side wall of the bridge on Plymbridge Road, Plympton at about 05:45 GMT.

The driver was taken to Derriford Hospital with minor injuries and Network Rail said all lines had re-opened by 08:15 GMT.

The road will remain closed "for some time" until the bridge has been repaired, Plymouth City Council said.

Diversions have been put in place.
