FIFTEEN people were injured after a tram crashed at Universal Studios in Southern California on Saturday night, according to ABC 13, Houston.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said the agency received a report just after 9 p.m. regarding a tram collision.
According to the Los Angeles County Fire Department, the 15 persons suffered minor injuries, including one person the fire department initially said had critical injuries.
“There was a tram incident at the theme park tonight that resulted in multiple minor injuries, confirmed by the LA County Fire Dept.
“We are working to support our guests and understand the circumstances that led to the accident,” a spokesperson for Universal Studios said in a statement.
The cause of the crash, as of the time of filing this report, remained unclear.
Investigators said the last car of the tram struck a rail near a parking area because of some sort of issue with the brakes.
The California Highway Patrol is the lead agency in the investigation.
