A commuter train collided with a car near the Staples Center arena, injuring seven people, authorities said.
The car was attempting a left turn across the tracks Saturday night when an oncoming Metro Blue Line train smashed into it and dragged it for several hundred feet before coming to a stop, authorities said.
The car's driver, a 40-year-old man, and a passenger, a 46-year-old man, had moderate injuries, said Fire Capt. Brian Ballton. Five passengers on the train were treated for minor injuries, Ballton said.
