The Metro Gold Line in Pasadena is closed after a northbound train struck a car that was apparently stuck on the tracks, a fire official said.<\/p>\n
A train carrying about 100 passengers slammed into the compact car about 1 p.m. on Glenarm Street between Raymond Avenue and Arroyo Parkway, shoving the car onto its side. The vehicle came to a stop when it slammed into one of the train system’s electrical towers, said Lisa Derderian of the Pasadena Fire Department.<\/p>\n
The car\u2019s single occupant, a 40-year-old man, was extricated after 20 minutes and was being treated at a hospital for serious injuries, she said.<\/p>\n
Passengers on the train were evaluated for injuries, but none wanted to be taken to a hospital, Derderian said. Metro passengers were being bused around the crash site. <\/p>\n
The circumstances of the accident were still under investigation, Derderian said.<\/p>\n
