At around 6 pm, the police were alerted that a man had driven a car on the platform at the railway station in Sävsjö.
He drove off and the car then got stuck between the platform and the railway track.
No one was injured but police were forced to use pepper spray to check on the man who was not cooperating.
The police initially classify the incident as drunk driving.
