A reported collision between a vehicle and a Los Angeles Metro train led to hospitalization of at least one person on Wednesday. The incident took place in South Los Angeles, specifically within the Florence-Graham neighborhood near the intersection of Nadeau Street and Graham Avenue. Here, the Metro A Line is not separated from the traffic on the road, contributing to the circumstances that led to the accident.
According to reports on November 20, 2024, an LA Metro train collided with a sedan. The vehicle involved was a Nissan sedan whose front end was extensively damaged due to the force of the collision. The aftermath of the accident was documented by Sky5 video footage, which showed the disabled sedan positioned on one set of the tracks and the metro train stopped nearby on a separate track.
Following the accident, damage assessment to the train was conducted, and by 12:30 p.m., evacuation of the riders from the Metro was coordinated by the Metro staff. Limited details regarding the nature of the collision have been provided. However, the Los Angeles County Fire Department confirmed the transportation of one individual to a local hospital, without any immediate release of information on the patients condition.
The Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department deputies arrived at the scene and closed the intersection for investigation. Additional details and developments about this incident will be reported as information becomes available.
