One person was hospitalized Wednesday morning after driving his car into the side of a subway train in South Los Angeles.
According to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the crash happened around 11:40 a.m. near Graham Avenue and Nadeau Street.
It is unclear what caused the crash, but investigators from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department have launched an investigation into the matter.
Metro A Line service in the area was disrupted for several hours between the Slauson and Firestone stations, but all operations have since returned to normal. Passengers affected by the temporary delays were instead transported by bus to various train stations.
“There have been no reports of injuries to train passengers and the driver of the vehicle has been transported to a local hospital,” a Metro spokesperson said.
The condition of the driver is still unknown.
Video from the scene shows a heavily damaged black sedan near the tracks. The train appeared to sustain some damage on the side where it was hit, but was largely undamaged. The guardrails leading to the tracks were also damaged after the car drove through them and onto the tracks.
