The accident occurred about 8:30 a.m. near Exposition Boulevard and Western Avenue, according to Metro.
Expo Line will officially open to Palms, West Los Angeles, and Santa Monica on Friday, May 20. For now trains are running to test the line. Drivers should pay attention to rail signals and be wary not to stop on the tracks.
