Los Angeles - A passenger train struck a car on the tracks and burst into flames during the Friday morning rush hour, injuring five people, a spokesperson said.
The train and vehicle collided shortly after 07:00 to the northeast of Los Angeles.
The Metro Gold Line commuter train caught fire and received "significant damage" before it was doused, said a Los Angeles fire spokesperson, Ron Myers.
Five people were hurt, including two with minor injuries, Myers said. He could not immediately say whether the injured were in the car or the train.
The commuter train line carries passengers between Chinatown and suburbs east of the city.
