A tram crash at Universal Studios Hollywood has left 15 people injured.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department was called to the theme park shortly after 9pm local time on Saturday.
It said 15 people were taken to hospitals with minor injuries.
The crash occurred when the final car of one of the trams collided with a metal guardrail, which caused it to “tilt and eject multiple passengers”, the California Highway Patrol said.
The Highway Patrol said some of the injuries were “moderate” but did not specify how many.

Sheriff’s Lieutenant Maria Abal suggested the four-car tram may have experienced an issue with its brakes.
Alcohol and drugs were not considered as a factor, said the Highway Patrol, which is leading the investigation.
A Universal Studios spokesperson told the Associated Press there were “multiple minor injuries” but did not provide details on the accident.
