The collision took place on California Boulevard, between Arroyo Parkway and Raymond Avenue, at about 11:30 a.m., Pasadena Fire Department spokeswoman Lisa Derderian said.
The two injured men were driving west in a Toyota Corolla when they were hit by a Gold Line train, Derderian added. They were transported to a hospital in serious condition, she said. There were no injuries among the 24 passengers on the train.
