This is the shocking moment a train slammed into a truck that broke down on the tracks at a level crossing in Indonesia.

The Brantas train operated by the Indonesian Railway Company (KAI) was travelling to Blitar in East Java when it crashed into the truck that stalled along the railway in Semarang City on July 18 evening.

Footage shows how the truck was dragged across the tracks, erupting into a massive fireball when it smashed into a bridge. Pools of fire and sparks were seen surrounding the wreckage as authorities responded to the incident.

Local media reported one person was injured.

Investigators said the truck's engine cut out while it was on the level crossing. The driver had left in search for help shortly before the oncoming train carrying 626 passengers people struck the vehicle.

Senior Commissioner Irwan Anwar, Head of Semarang City Police said: 'This truck suddenly broke down on the rails. Then the driver and controller managed to ask for help from the guard guarding the train crossing, but the train was already approaching.'

The collision caused a huge explosion and the locomotive caught fire. The train stopped several tens of meters after the collision.

Police confirmed that there were no casualties in this incident. The truck driver and crew member from the Brantas Railway locomotive both managed to escape.

They said the engineer and his assistant managed to survive even though they were surrounded by a large fire.

The police chief added: 'The train engineer and crew jumped off the train after making sure everything was safe. Only one passenger suffered minor injuries because he fell when he jumped from the train.'

Ixfan Hendri Wintoko, KAI public relations manager for Operational Area 4, told local media: 'We will calculate the total loss, and we will ask the truck operator to compensate.'

A KAI spokesman said that train operations have resumed normally as of Wednesday following checks by railway operators.
