One person was killed in a collision between a Metrolink train and a car in Sun Valley on Tuesday afternoon.
The crash occurred around 3:20 p.m. near Coldwater Canyon Avenue and Raymer Street and left the vehicle mutilated between two tracks.
According to the Los Angeles Fire Department, the driver of the car died at the scene.
The cause and circumstances of the crash are still under investigation, authorities said.
“It’s just a reminder to everyone, when they’re around the tracks, to be really careful and always think there’s a train coming,” said Scott Johnson, a Metrolink spokesman.
According to Metrolink, no injuries were reported among the 54 passengers aboard the train, which traveled from downtown Los Angeles to Moorpark.
Tracks between Hollywood Burbank Airport and Van Nuys on the system’s Ventura County Line remained closed Tuesday afternoon.
