One person was killed Wednesday morning in a collision between a vehicle and a downtown Los Angeles-bound Metrolink train at a crossing in Glendale.
The crash was reported around 9 a.m. Wednesday on Brazil Street, just west of the intersection of San Fernando Road and Broadway, between the downtown Burbank and Glendale stations, according to Metrolink Public Affairs Manager Laurene Lopez.
One person was pronounced dead at the scene, their body visible outside the mangled silver vehicle. The train, number 206 on the Antelope Valley Line, was stopped on the tracks.
Personnel from the Los Angeles County and Glendale fire departments responded to the scene.
Three injuries were reported among the roughly 150 passengers who were onboard, Lopez said. One of them, along with an injured bystander, was taken to a hospital, she said. The other injured parties were treated aboard the train, according to Lopez.
Trains 207 and 208 on the Antelope Valley Line were canceled, as were trains 320 and 341 on the San Bernardino Line, she said.
The Glendale Police Department was leading the crash investigation.
Metro buses were being used to shuttle passengers between the Burbank Downtown and Glendale stations, Lopez said.
