According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, the fatal accident happened around 6:15 p.m. at 1629 E. 24th St. For unknown reasons, a driver carrying four passengers made a left turn in front of an oncoming Metro train and a collision occurred. The Metro Blue Line train and the vehicle were heading southbound when the car turned in front of the train.
 
Shortly after, Los Angeles Fire personnel responded and found two males trapped inside. One was beyond medical help, but the other was extricated immediately. Another passenger in the vehicle suffered grave injuries and died at the scene. Officials did not release the two victims’ names.
