More than a dozen injured after crash involving tram at Universal Studios

More than a dozen people were injured Saturday in an accident involving a streetcar at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Los Angeles County Fire crews rushed to the scene, located at 3900 Lankershim Boulevard in North Hollywood, around 9 p.m. Saturday.

Investigators with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department say there are between 14 and 15 injuries and, despite earlier reports, none appear critical and not all are life-threatening.

They believe the accident may have been caused by a mechanical failure.

SkyCal flew over the scene, where a group of people could be seen as they were being treated by paramedics. Another larger group was taken away from the tram and loaded onto a bus.

“There was a tram incident at the theme park this evening that resulted in several minor injuries, confirmed by the Los Angeles County Fire Department,” Universal Studios Hollywood officials said in a statement. “We are working to support our guests and understand the circumstances that led to the accident.”
