A tram tour was in progress on the Universal Studios Hollywood back lot,” the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department told The Hollywood Reporter in a statement.
“The tram had just passed the Jurassic Park Cars and was making a turn to head northbound on Avenue M. Due to unknown reasons, while negotiating the turn onto Avenue M, the last car of the tram collided with a metal guardrail on the right side of the roadway causing it to tilt and eject multiple passengers from the tram.”
“Fifteen passengers were transported to local hospitals for medical treatment and evaluations with minor to moderate injuries,” as stated.
“The cause of the crash is still under investigation. Alcohol and drugs are not considered to be a factor in this crash,” the statement further added.
