Bus replacements were being arranged but the scene in Gynn Square has now been cleared and reopened by police.
The tram service has now resumed, but Blackpool Transport said there will be delays whilst "services get back up and running normally".
Blackpool Transport tweeted: "There is currently a car crashed into the railings at Gynn Square and trams cannot pass the area.
"At the moment the tram service is being held until further instruction from the police we are arranging a bus replacement but it will take some time to arrange."
