Metro Blue Line Train & Bus Collide south of Downtown L.A.

Fifteen persons aboard a Metro Blue Line train sustained non-life threatening injury, when their Long Beach bound light rail train collided with an out of service Metro Local transit bus at the intersection of Washington Boulevard and Griffith Avenue south of downtown Los Angeles on September 19, 2008.

As seen in this video, the well-rehearsed triage, treatment and transportation efforts of more than 50 Los Angeles Firefighters soon brought the situation under control.
