At least 55 people were injured when a bus collided with a Los Angeles Metro train on Tuesday in the California city. Two of the victims were hospitalized with serious injuries, officials said.
The bus crossed into the path of an E Line train, Dave Sotero, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Metro, told the Associated Press. Firefighters were quick to arrive on the scene.
“Metro offers its sympathy to those injured in the accident,” Sotero said in an email to the outlet.
He added that the Los Angeles Police Department would be investigating the incident.
Videos of the scene showed the front of the bus severely damaged, with the train taking relatively minor damage. The bus was a shuttle bus affiliated with the University of Southern California.
In addition to the two people hospitalized with severe injuries, 16 were hospitalized in fair condition, while another 37 were treated at the scene.

Before long, the LA Metro announced that the line had reopened, with only residual delays.
