LOS ANGELES — Six people were injured after the sedan they were riding in collided with a light rail train conducting a test run through downtown Saturday afternoon.

Footage from TV news helicopters showed the driver’s side of the vehicle crushed against the front of an Expo line train as firefighters used the Jaws of Life to pull the driver out.

The cause of the crash is under investigation. There were no passengers on the train. The Expo line connecting downtown to Culver City is set to open later this year.
