A Metro Blue (A) Line train collided with a vehicle in the Historic South-Central neighborhood Monday, but no injuries were reported.

The train running between Grant/LATTC and San Pedro Street stations hit the vehicle near East Washington Boulevard and Los Angeles Street around noon Monday, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Train service continued to the next station, allowing passengers to disembark, the LAFD said.

Metro spokesman Dave Sotero said the A line service was affected for at least an hour.

”Regular train service has now resumed throughout the line,” Sotero said in a statement. “Metro remind reminds all drivers to be rail safe, pay attention to traffic signals, and always look both ways.”

Both the vehicle’s driver and train passengers were medically assessed at the scene.

It was not immediately clear if the train sustained any damage.

The collision was under an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department, Sotero said.
