The 2015 Los Angeles train crash occurred on the morning of March 28, 2015 when an Expo Line light rail train collided with a silver Hyundai Sonata at Exposition Boulevard and Vermont Avenue near the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles. The crash closed the line for the remainder of the day, disrupting access to a sold-out soccer match between Mexico and Ecuador. ==Crash== At 10:50 AM on Saturday, March 28, 2015, a three-car Expo Line train collided with a silver Hyundai Sonata at the intersection of Exposition Boulevard and Vermont Avenue, near the University of Southern California. The train hit the car at a traffic signal which was located between the school and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. Both vehicles were eastbound at the time when the car turned toward the school gate at which time it was hit by the train. The car landed between a pole and the train. The first two of the train's three cars partially derailed, but all four cars remained upright. The derailment occurred by the rose garden of Exposition Park.〔 Approximately 100 Metro passengers were involved. Twenty-one persons were known to be injured, ten of whom were hospitalized. The driver of the Hyundai, a graduate production student at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, was critically injured. The train engineer was hospitalized in serious condition, but later released. The other 19 injuries were not considered to be life-threatening. The incident caused major delays on the Expo Line, with thousands of travelers expected to utilize the train to arrive at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum for a sold-out soccer match between Mexico and Ecuador. After the accident, shuttle buses were provided to bring soccer fans to the Coliseum. At least 18 accidents have occurred involving Metro trains in the year before this accident, four of them along the Expo Line. Accidents involving street-running Metro trains are not uncommon, particularly on the Blue Line. The Expo Line connects Los Angeles with Culver City, while the Blue Line connects Los Angeles with Long Beach.
