A MAN has been killed and at least nine people injured in a collision between a train and a truck in Melbourne.
Emergency services say the man died at the scene after being found and treated by paramedics near the main engine of the train.
A driver of the train was in a serious but stable condition after being freed from the wreckage and taken to The Alfred Hospital with lower body injuries, Victorian Ambulance services said.
He was trapped inside the train for more than an hour after it collided with a truck at Abbotts Road at Dandenong South in Melbourne's south at 11.40am (AEDT) on Saturday.
An ambulance spokesman said eight other injured people, believed to have been passengers on the train, had been taken to hospitals nearby.
Paramedics gave the driver fluids and oxygen as emergency services worked to free him.
"Our team were treating his injuries while he was in there," an ambulance spokesman told AAP.
The spokesman said passengers were being taken to Frankston and Dandenong hospitals with a number being treated at the scene.
Metro Trains said train services on the Pakenham line between Dandenong and Cranbourne will be suspended, with buses to replace trains.
The deceased man was suffering a heart attack when emergency services found him, police said in a statement.
Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives are at the scene, where carriages lie on their side across the tracks after the train jackknifed on hitting the truck.
