No injuries or transport to the hospital were reported after an early-morning freight train collided with a vehicle on the tracks Thursday, according to an official with the L.A County Fire Department.
Luis Garcia, spokesman for the Fire Department, said at 3:28 a.m. Thursday firefighters were dispatched to Lost Canyon Road and Oak Spring Canyon Road for a train versus a vehicle traffic collision.
Meredith Yeoman, Metrolink public relations manager, said the train involved was not a Metrolink train – it was a freight train versus a vehicle.
According to her records a tow truck responded to the scene to move the vehicle at 4:15 a.m.
Yeoman added that the collision did not cause a shutdown of the tracks. At the most, one train was delayed by an hour, which caused a train behind that one to be delayed by 15 minutes.
As of Thursday afternoon, all tracks were open and trains were running on schedule, said Yeoman.
No patients were reported to be injured or transported from the scene.
